The debts of Georgian businesses reached 92.5 billion GEL - during the year, the companies' liabilities increased by more than 10 billion! According to the data of the National Statistics Service of Georgia (Sakstat), by the end of 2025, the total amount of liabilities of non-financial companies reached 92.5 billion GEL. A year earlier, this figure was 82.1 billion lari. Thus, during the year, business liabilities increased by 10.4 billion GEL, or about 12.7%. What do the companies' debts consist of? 23.8 billion lari - short-term liabilities that must be repaid within a year. 18 billion lari - liabilities in foreign currency. This is about 19.5% of the total. 11.2 billion lari - debt to foreign residents, including foreign banks and international financial organizations. How much does a business spend on debt repayment? During 2025, Georgian companies allocated 13.2 billion GEL to service loans. Of this amount, NIS 2.1 billion was spent only on interest payments, and the rest was spent on repaying the loan fund. It is important to understand: 92.5 billion lari are not only bank loans, but the total liabilities of non-financial companies, including other types of debt. An increase in liabilities in itself does not necessarily mean a deterioration in the financial situation of the business. This may be related to the expansion of the company's activities, investments and attracting additional financing. However, the increase in the debt burden makes the ability of companies to meet obligations on time and the sustainability of their profits particularly important.
