The National Bank of Georgia (NBG) reported Tuesday that money transfers into the country reached $315.5 million in June 2025, marking a 12.2% increase ($34.4 million) compared to the same period last year.
Total remittances for the first half of 2025 amounted to $1.715 billion, according to central bank data.
The European Union maintained its position as the largest source of remittances, accounting for 44.4% of total flows with $140.2 million—representing a robust 17.3% annual growth rate. Within the EU bloc, Italy, Germany, and Greece emerged as the top contributors to Georgia’s remittance inflows.
Transfers from the United States jumped 23% year-on-year in June, reaching $58.7 million. This contrasts sharply with flows from Russia, which declined 15.9% annually to $41.1 million, continuing a downward trend.
Outbound transfers from Georgia also increased, with $34.3 million ($93.6 million lari) sent abroad in June 2025—a 21.8% rise from the $28.1 million recorded in June 2024.
