TBILISI, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Georgia's Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vakhtang Tsintsadze said on Monday that the Georgian economy is supported by resilient macroeconomic fundamentals despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Tsintsadze said the latest assessment by Moody's reinforced that outlook, with the agency raising its forecast for Georgia's economic growth in 2026 to 6 percent from 5.5 percent in its recent review of the country's sovereign credit profile.
According to the review, Georgia's real GDP expanded by 7.5 percent in 2025, significantly above the 3.6 percent median of peer countries. Moody's attributed the performance to strong domestic demand, rising wages, solid growth in the services sector and increased infrastructure spending.
The agency also highlighted stronger fiscal performance, noting that the budget deficit narrowed to 1.2 percent of GDP in 2025, helping stabilize public debt at 34.5 percent of GDP. ■
