Legal entities under Georgia's central government, including LEPLs and N(N)LEs, held GEL 1.1 billion in deposits at commercial banks at the end of 2025, according to the State Audit Office's report on the state budget.
The report shows that GEL 833 million (76%) was held in demand deposits and card accounts, while GEL 264 million (24%) was placed in fixed-term deposits by 20 institutions. Of the fixed-term deposits, GEL 26 million had maturities of less than one year, GEL 237 million had terms of one to two years, and GEL 0.5 million was deposited for more than two years.
Although the total declined from GEL 1.28 billion in 2024 to GEL 1.11 billion in 2025, it remains more than four times higher than in 2021, when deposits stood at GEL 498 million. The State Audit Office has previously warned that the rapid growth of these deposits may indicate inefficient management of public funds and has called for more centralized oversight of cash held by state-established entities.
