In 2020, the GDP of the entire country was about 50 billion GEL, this year it is up to GEL 80 billion, in the last three years, the economy of our country has grown by about GEL 30 billion, Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili said this at the governmental meeting.
According to the Prime Minister, in 2012 the total amount of citizens' deposits was more than USD 2 billion and the same amount in GEL, and now it is USD 23 billion and 22 billion in GEL.
Irakli Garibashvili noted that the number of deposits in commercial banks has increased.
"For comparison, I would like to quote once again, in 2020 the GDP of the whole country was about GEL 50 billion. This year it is up to GEL 80 billion. That is, in the last three years, the economy of our country has grown by about GEL 30 billion. By the end of the year, it will be almost USD 8,000 per capita. This is certainly a very big leap. It needs to be maintained, protected and further strengthened. I recently made a comment in one of my interviews and said that for comparison, the total volume of deposits of our citizens in 2012 was, if I remember correctly, more than USD 2 billion, approximately the same amount in GEL. Now there are USD 23 billion, if I am not mistaken, and 22 billion in GEL. The number of deposits in commercial banks has increased. People are getting rich, this means that business is developing, the country is developing, growing, getting stronger, and of course, this is the result of our correct policy, which was started by Mr. Ivanishvili and we have continued, followed and maintained this course and trend for the last 10 years," said Irakli Garibashvili.
