Vakhtang Tsintsadze, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, stated that Georgia recorded historic highs in both exports and overall foreign trade turnover in 2025, as shown by a summary of annual trade results.
Official data show that Georgian exports grew by 11.2% year-on-year, reaching $7.3 billion. At the same time, total foreign trade turnover surpassed $25.8 billion, the highest level on record.
Trade dynamics remained strong at the end of the year. In December 2025 alone, exports increased by 22.5% compared to the same month in 2024, totaling $673.2 million. Imports also expanded, rising by 8.5% to $1.84 billion. As a result, trade turnover for December reached $2.52 billion, up 12% year-on-year.
Commenting on the figures, Tsintsadze emphasized that supporting domestic production remains a main government priority. The strategy focuses on meeting local demand with domestically produced goods while simultaneously strengthening Georgia’s export presence in international markets.
The Deputy Minister stated that this objective is pursued through targeted state support programs for local producers and by leveraging free trade agreements to facilitate export growth. These measures, he said, are intended to enhance the competitiveness of the Georgian economy and increase the global reach of Georgian products.
