Georgia, with a population of around 3.69 million people, has a GDP of approximately 35.35 billion making it the 106th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Georgia is the Georgian Lari (GEL)
The economy is driven by tourism, agriculture (wine), and transportation services, benefiting from its location as a transit hub. It has a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with the European Union and maintains significant trade with Turkey and Russia.
Credit and debit cards are a widely accepted and frequently used payment method in Georgia, especially in the capital, Tbilisi, and other major cities. Despite high card usage, physical cash in the form of the Lari remains very common for smaller purchases, public transport, and in rural areas. The country also has a vast network of self-service payment terminals, like PayBox and TBC Pay, which are widely used for paying bills and fines.
Whatever you need to buy during your trip, whether it’s a travel adapter, train ticket or an extra bottle of sunscreen, the Wise Multi-Currency Card has you covered.
