Georgia Consumer Price Index

Georgia’s Consumer Price Index has risen dramatically over the 32‑year span from 10.90 in 1994 to an all‑time peak of 194.02 in 2025, placing the country 61st globally. The steep ascent reflects persistent inflationary pressures, especially after 2010 when macro‑policy adjustments and external shocks accelerated price growth. By 2025 the index is virtually identical to that of Viet Nam (194.06) and only marginally below Paraguay (194.18), underscoring Georgia’s convergence with other emerging economies experiencing similar cost‑of‑living escalations. The early low base in the mid‑1990s, a period marked by post‑Soviet transition and price liberalisation, contrasts sharply with the recent high, which coincides with expansive fiscal stimulus and volatile commodity markets. If monetary tightening and supply‑side reforms succeed in curbing demand‑driven inflation, the upward trajectory of the CPI could moderate; otherwise the index may remain near its current peak, reinforcing the need for policy vigilance.
