According to information released by the National Bank of Georgia (NBG), the country’s foreign exchange reserves increased by $208 million as of April 2025, reaching a total of $4.5 billion.
The National Bank notes that international currency reserves serve as a significant guarantor of the country’s macroeconomic stability.
“The National Bank’s long-term policy has always been directed toward accumulating foreign exchange reserves and effectively managing reserve assets. It is worth noting that even during the current period, due to favourable market conditions, the National Bank continues to replenish reserves.
For example, according to March data, net purchases of $101.7 million were made, while April statistics will be published on May 27,” the statement reads.
As of April 2025, gold accounts for 16.8% ($757.7 million) of total foreign exchange reserves. Due to the increase in gold prices, reserve volumes grew by $42.9 million compared to the previous month, “which emphasises the validity of the National Bank’s reserve diversification strategy,” the NBG reported.
The National Bank of Georgia will publish updated data on official foreign exchange reserves on June 9, 2025.
