Moody’s rewards Georgia’s economic stability with rating upgrade

International credit rating agency Moody's has upgraded Georgia’s credit outlook from negative to stable.

According to the agency’s assessment, the country’s strong economic performance has helped mitigate risks associated with geopolitical challenges.

Moody’s noted that cooperation with international partners has strengthened the effectiveness of Georgia’s fiscal and monetary policies, making the economy more resilient to external shocks.

The agency forecasts that Georgia’s economy will expand by 6.4% in 2026, followed by growth of 5.5% in 2027. Public debt is also expected to continue declining, approaching 30% of GDP.

Consumption and investment are set to remain the main drivers of economic growth. Combined with prudent public debt management, these factors should help sustain the strength of Georgia’s public finances.

Georgia’s strategic position as a key transport and logistics hub along the Middle Corridor is also likely to support trade diversification and attract additional investment, further enhancing the country’s economic outlook.
