Georgia’s producer prices rose 5.7% year-on-year in February 2026, easing from a one-year high of 6.5% in January. This was the lowest increase since October 2025 and signaled a broad-based slowdown in price growth across all major sectors.

In manufacturing, producer price inflation decelerated to 4.1% from 4.7% in the previous month, driven primarily by a slowdown in food manufacturing (10.3% vs 11.8%). Overall producer inflation was also tempered by weaker price pressures in mining and quarrying, where inflation eased to 34.2% from 36.4%, largely reflecting softer price growth for metal ores (47.6% vs 51.4%).

Other key sectors showed similar moderation: prices in electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply slowed to 1% from 3%, while water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation services saw inflation edge down to 5.1% from 5.6%.

On a monthly basis, producer prices fell 0.4% in February, reversing the 1.4% increase recorded in January.
