Georgia plans to increase the share of the Chinese yuan in the country's reserves to 15%, that is, to triple it. This is what the head of the National Bank said She was born in Turnaba after negotiations with the head of the People's Bank of China Fan Gongsheng at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Thailand. With reserves of $8.17 billion (October 2026), 15% is about $1.23 billion. Most of the reserves are still in dollars because of the external debt structure, but the regulator diversifies assets: Asian markets, according to Mefna, have different dynamics, and investments in yuan increase resistance to external shocks. Agreements between central banks, signed in early 2025, gave Georgia direct access to the Chinese Interbank Bond Market (CIBM), allowing investment in Chinese government bonds and receiving interest income in yuan.
