August 2015 GDP Forecast | Low single digit growth will persist in the 3rd quarter of 2015

2015
ISET-PI has updated the forecast for Georgia’s real GDP growth rates using the June 2015 releases of various economic indicators.
The growth forecast for the third quarter of 2015 was revised significantly downward to low single digits and is now targeted at 2.6%.
Given the newly revised Q3 forecast, the annual growth in 2015 is expected to be 2.6% in the worst-case, or “no growth” scenario, and 3% in the best-case, or “average long-term growth” scenario (see our January 2014 and February 2014 publications for a note on methodology).
The significant downward revision of Q3 forecast comes as no surprise after the underwhelming growth results for Q2 were officially released by Geostat.
