Georgia’s economic activity expanded by 7.9% year-on-year in January 2026, accelerating from 7.2% in the previous month and marking the strongest growth since March 2025. The upturn was driven by solid growth in information and communication, finance and insurance, mining, and hotels and restaurants. External demand also supported the expansion, as exports surged 19% while imports contracted sharply by 33.7%, boosting net trade. In contrast, a downward trend was observed in the construction and trade sectors.
