The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has raised its forecast for Georgia’s economic growth in 2026 by 0.5 percentage points and now expects the country’s GDP to grow by 6%.
In its latest Regional Economic Prospects report, the bank says Georgia’s economy is projected to expand by 5% in 2027.
EBRD analysts note that large investment projects in the real estate, transport, and renewable energy sectors could further accelerate economic growth. At the same time, they warn of external risks that could weigh on the economy.
Earlier in May, the National Bank of Georgia also raised its 2026 growth forecast from 5% to 6.5%.
The National Statistics Office of Georgia (Geostat) said the estimated real GDP growth rate reached 6.2% in April compared to the same period last year, while average growth for the first four months of 2026 stood at 8.3%.
