The Governor of the National Bank of Georgia (NBG), Natia Turnava, participated in a panel discussion titled “Trade, Investment, and Sustainable Development Amid Global Challenges”, held within the framework of the Ambassadors’ Conference 2025.

During the panel discussion, Natia Turnava spoke about the international cooperation of the National Bank of Georgia and emphasized the strong involvement of Georgian diplomats in this process, for which she expressed special gratitude on behalf of the NBG.

As noted by Natia Turnava, deepening cooperation with central banks and international financial institutions plays a significant role in strengthening financial stability and attracting foreign investment. She also highlighted that increased economic activity requires closer cooperation among financial sectors, and in this regard, the NBG is actively working with various countries, including on the introduction of new financial products.

Within the discussion, Natia Turnava underscored that Georgia’s economy has demonstrated high resilience in recent years amid global shocks and uncertainty. This is evidenced by inflation remaining below the target level for an extended period, overall price stability, and the sound condition of the financial sector.

“When discussing macroeconomic indicators, it is important to note that Georgia represents one of the rare caseseven compared with far more developed countries where strong economic growth and low inflation coexist. This combination is highly uncommon. In Georgia, sustained growth alongside low inflation is the result of the development of productive sectors of the economy,” Natia Turnava stated.

According to the NBG Governor, controlling inflation and the consistent implementation of monetary policy remain among the Bank’s top priorities. These efforts have been positively assessed by the International Monetary Fund in the area of monetary policy and have contributed to strengthening international confidence in the country’s macroeconomic stability.

Natia Turnava also spoke about the importance of international reserves, noting that their volume has reached a historical high. This enhances the country’s resilience to economic shocks and further strengthens the investment environment.

“When we speak of Georgia’s resilience of an economy that has withstood past shocks and remains capable of absorbing potential shocks and demonstrating stability despite the geopolitical environment one of the key components is the country’s international reserves. They serve as a critical buffer through which we respond to challenges,” Natia Turnava added.
