According to the National Bank of Georgia (NBG), the country’s foreign exchange reserves increased by $208 million in April 2025, bringing the total to $4.5 billion.

The NBG emphasized that international reserves are a key pillar of Georgia’s macroeconomic stability. “The National Bank’s long-term policy has always prioritized the accumulation and effective management of foreign exchange reserves,” the statement noted. The Bank highlighted favorable market conditions as a contributing factor to continued reserve growth.

In March alone, the Bank made net purchases totaling $101.7 million. Reserve purchase data for April will be released on May 27.

Gold holdings accounted for 16.8% of total reserves in April, or approximately $757.7 million. Due to a rise in global gold prices, the value of Georgia’s gold reserves grew by $42.9 million compared to the previous month. The NBG cited this as evidence supporting its reserve diversification strategy.

Updated figures for Georgia’s official foreign exchange reserves will be published on June 9, 2025.
