Economic growth is the main driver of wage increases, Deputy Economy Minister Vakhtang Tsintsadze said, noting that wages are rising across almost all sectors of Georgia’s economy.
According to Tsintsadze, wage growth has been recorded in financial and insurance activities, mining, healthcare, information and communication, transport and storage, among other sectors. He said Georgia recorded 7.9% economic growth in the first seven months of 2026.
Tsintsadze said productivity growth is also contributing to higher wages and expressed expectations that Georgia will maintain a high rate of economic growth throughout 2026. He added that the government will continue supporting the private sector, which he said will positively affect labor market indicators.
According to data released on September 15, Georgia’s average monthly nominal salary rose by GEL 177, or 8%, year-on-year, to GEL 2,389 in Q2 2026. The figure includes income tax, while the average salary after tax was about GEL 1,911.
