Following the tentative recovery observed in 2021, global economic conditions worsened significantly in 2022 (IMF, July 2022). Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 caused global economic growth estimates to drop for the first time since 2020.
Recently, Geostat has released the preliminary estimate of real GDP growth for the second quarter of 2022, which now stands at 7.1%.
The average cost of cooking one standard portion of Imeretian Khachapuri stood at 5.39 GEL in June 2022. This is 2.7% lower MoM (compared to May 2022) and 28.1% higher YoY (compared to June 2021).
