Georgia: Third Review Under the Extended Fund Facility Arrangement-Press Release; Staff Report; Staff Supplement, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2018) accessed December 22, 2024

Summary

Recent economic developments. Economic activity remained strong in 2018H1 but decelerated since due to subdued private construction activity and delays in public infrastructure. Inflation has remained below the 3-percent inflation target in 2018. Higher revenues and lower investment resulted in a fiscal surplus through September 2018. Against the background of high credit growth, the authorities introduced regulations to limit household over-indebtedness. The banking sector remains well capitalized, liquid, and profitable, but dollarization remains high.
