NBG: International Reserves Over $5.8 Bln After November Purchase of $308 Mln

The National Bank of Georgia (NBG) said the country’s international reserves exceeded USD 5.8 billion after increasing by USD 308.2 million through foreign currency purchases in November.

According to NBG’s data, monthly purchases amounted to USD 101.7 million in March, USD 266.4 million in April, USD 245.4 million in May, USD 266 million in June, USD 416.9 million in July, USD 199.6 million in August, USD 100 million in September, USD 167.4 million in October, and USD 308.2 in November, all through the Bmatch trading platform. In total, the National Bank made net purchases of USD 2.2 billion between January and November 2025.

The National Bank reiterated that “international foreign exchange reserves are an important guarantee of a country’s macroeconomic stability” and that it increases reserves “when market conditions allow.” Updated figures on foreign exchange market operations will be released on January 26, 2026.

The steady refilling of reserves follows NBG’s major foreign currency interventions in 2024, when the Bank sold more than USD 900 million amid mass protests over the Foreign Agents Law in the spring and again ahead of the crucial October 26 parliamentary elections.
