Given the importance of supervisory policy transparency and close cooperation with stakeholders, the National Bank publishes the draft 2026-2028 Supervisory Strategy for public consultations. The purpose of publishing the draft strategy is to ensure the active involvement of the financial sector and the public in the process of forming the new strategic cycle.

Taking into account the analysis of international practice, current and expected trends, needs identified in practice, views presented by stakeholders, and numerous other relevant factors, the National Bank of Georgia has defined the following supervisory priorities for 2026-2028:

• Approximation with the best international practices and standards;
• Improvement of the risk management framework for the sustainable functioning of the financial sector;
• Development of financial innovations, promoting the protection of competition and consumer rights;
• Development of the securities market;
• Strengthening of forward-looking supervision and increasing inclusivity.

Notably, the National Bank has published the relevant questionnaire with the aim of soliciting the views, expectations, and general vision on current challenges from the financial sector and stakeholders regarding the National Bank’s 2026-2028 supervisory priorities. The National Bank expresses its gratitude to the involved parties for sharing numerous interesting views and recommendations. The received feedback was analyzed in detail, and a number of issues were taken into account in the process of forming the supervisory priorities and relevant activities. It should be noted that the issues and proposals that, by their nature, fell outside the scope of the Supervisory Strategy, were shared with the relevant functions of the National Bank.

The National Bank actively continues to work on the 2026-2028 Supervisory Strategy, as well as on the implementation of the activities set out within each priority. Furthermore, it is important for the National Bank to understand the views of financial sector representatives and stakeholders regarding the draft Supervisory Strategy. Considering the above, please send your comments regarding the document by June 9, 2026, inclusive, to the following e-mail address: supervisorystrategy@nbg.gov.ge

Following the completion of this review stage, the received feedback will once again be analyzed in detail, based on which the document will be finalized and published on the National Bank's website.
