In 2025, Georgia earned USD 122.3 million from the sale of processed, semi-processed and powdered gold, a 122.9% increase in revenue compared with 2024 even though the volume sold fell by 29.6% year-on-year.
The country exported 1.9 tons of gold which was shipped to three main markets: Switzerland($101.6 million), Turkey($13.3 million) and the United Arab Emirates ($7.3 million). Switzerland remains the dominant destination for Georgian gold exports.
Gold’s strong performance reflects broader global market trends. Prices of the precious metal have continued to climb, recently reaching record levels. At one point, gold reached around $4,740 per ounce, a historic high, driven by rising geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Over the course of the year, prices climbed approximately 73%, with a further 3.5% increase in just one week, as investors have turned to gold and other safe-haven assets amid global tensions.
