In January-February 2023, the trade turnover between Georgia and the EU member states increased slightly by 7.6% and amounted to 590 million 760 thousand dollars. Thus, the EU took a 20.3% share in Georgia's trade turnover.
In the first two months of 2023, the share of the European Union in Georgia's exports almost halved. According to the data published by the National Statistics Office of Georgia (GEOSTAT), in January-February, exports to the EU amounted to $115.8 million, which is only 12.6% of the total exports. Whereas in the same period last year, goods (20.9%) worth $59 million were exported from the country to the European Union.
