Moody’s has upgraded Georgia’s sovereign credit outlook from negative to stable, citing the country’s resilient economy, sound fiscal management, and growing role as a key trade and transport hub.
Georgia's strong economic performance has helped offset risks associated with geopolitical challenges. Moody’s also highlighted the country's cooperation with international partners, which has strengthened fiscal and monetary policies and improved the economy's resilience to external shocks, The Caspian Post reports via Sputnik Georgia.
The agency expects Georgia’s economy to grow by 6.4% in 2026, followed by 5.5% growth in 2027, reflecting continued economic momentum.
Moody’s also forecasts a further decline in public debt to around 30% of GDP, supported by prudent debt management and stable public finances.
The agency said consumer spending and investment will remain the main drivers of economic growth, assisting to sustain fiscal stability and support long-term development.
Another key factor behind the improved outlook is Georgia’s strategic position along the Middle Corridor, an increasingly important trade and transport route connecting Europe and Asia. The corridor is expected to boost trade diversification and attract additional foreign investment.
