According to the data, Georgia holds 5th place in the world in terms of entries from Russia in January-September 2022 (with 662,852 exits of Russian citizens from Russia to Georgia-controlled territories recorded in the first 9 months, or 4% of the total recorded exits from Russia).
In February 2023, Georgian power plants generated 987 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 11% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in February 2022, the total generation was 890 mln. kWh).
Over the past few years, food prices have been increasing and Georgia has been facing food price inflation in the double digits. This is primarily due to international market trends that reflect concerns over decreased production, increased crude oil prices, as well as COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine increased pressure on international food markets already struggling with soaring prices.
On March 14, the ISET Policy Institute organized a roundtable discussion on Food Prices, Price Controls, and their Potential Impact on Georgia’s Economy. The event was attended by experts from local and international institutions who shared their views and exchanged ideas on proposed policy solutions.
In January 2023, Georgian power plants generated 1,111 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 8% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in January 2022, the total generation was 1,025 mln. kWh).
