Georgia’s real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 6.4% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2025, reaching GEL 27.9 billion, according to preliminary data released by the National Statistics Office (Geostat).
Geostat reported that the fastest-growing sector was information and communication, which surged by 21.1%, closely followed by education, up 20.7%. Financial and insurance activities also saw strong growth at 14.7%, while arts, entertainment, and recreation expanded by 13%. Public administration and defence, including compulsory social security, rose by 9.7%, and transportation and storage increased by 8.1%. Wholesale and retail trade, including the repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, grew by 3.0%.
However, not all sectors saw growth during the quarter. Mining and quarrying declined by 8.7%, while agriculture, forestry, and fishing fell by 5.4%. The supply of electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning also dipped by 3.3%.
Looking at GDP share, trade remains the largest sector at 15%, followed by manufacturing at 9.4%, real estate activities at 8.8%, and construction at 8.4%. Information and communication accounts for 7.4%, agriculture, forestry, and fishing 7.3%, public administration 6%, and education 5.4%.
Overall, the data underscores a continued shift in Georgia’s economy towards knowledge-based and service sectors, even as traditional industries such as agriculture and mining face mounting challenges.
