Georgia’s economy expanded by 6.2% year-on-year in April 2026, easing from 10.7% growth recorded in the previous month.

This marked the softest economic growth since last October, but remained supported by solid activity across several key sectors.

Manufacturing, information and communication, transportation and storage, wholesale and retail trade, and financial and insurance activities were the main contributors to growth.

In contrast, declines were registered in construction as well as mining and quarrying activities.

Over the first four months of 2026, economic activity averaged at 8.3%.

External trade trends remained favorable, with exports rising 21.1% year-on-year to $2.44 billion in January-April, while imports declined 4.9% to $5.69 billion.
