According to the National Bank of Georgia (NBG), Georgia’s international currency reserves increased by USD 342.6 million in December 2025 compared to the previous month, reaching a record high, according to 1tv.ge website.

As reported by the NBG, the country’s international currency reserves now total approximately USD 6.16 billion.

“The National Bank of Georgia remains focused on replenishing reserves. Amid favourable market conditions, the NBG continues to accumulate reserves. In particular, net foreign exchange purchases amounted to USD 101.7 million in March, USD 266.4 million in April, USD 245.4 million in May, USD 266.0 million in June, USD 416.9 million in July, USD 199.6 million in August, USD 100.0 million in September, USD 167.4 million in October, and USD 308.2 million in November. Overall, net purchases in January–November 2025 totalled USD 2.07 billion. Statistics on net purchases for December will be published on January 26,” the statement reads.

The National Bank emphasized that international currency reserves are a key guarantor of the country’s macroeconomic stability. It noted that the long-term policy of the NBG has consistently focused on reserve accumulation and effective asset management, with the December figures serving as confirmation of this strategy.

As of December 2025, gold accounts for 16.3% of total international reserves, amounting to USD 1.002 billion. Due to changes in gold prices, the value of monetary gold has doubled since its acquisition, increasing by USD 502.3 million, which underscores the effectiveness of the NBG’s reserve diversification policy.

The National Bank of Georgia will publish updated data on official international reserves on February 6, 2026.
