The National Bank of Georgia (NBG) is the central bank of Georgia. Its status is defined by the Constitution of Georgia. The main objective of the National Bank is to ensure price stability. Georgia’s first central bank was established in 1919. In its current form the National Bank of Georgia has existed since 1991. According to the Constitution of Georgia, the National Bank is independent in its activities. Beyond this mandate, the NBG operates as Georgia’s integrated financial supervisor – a single megaregulator that oversees nearly the entire financial sector rather than functioning as an ordinary bank. Its remit spans the regulation and oversight of commercial banks, microbanks, microfinance organizations, payment service providers, virtual asset service providers, and other market participants, together with responsibility for the secure and efficient operation of payment and settlement systems and for advancing transparency, consumer protection, and financial literacy. The NBG also safeguards financial stability and manages the country’s international reserves, a key anchor of macroeconomic stability. For additional information, visit https://nbg.gov.ge/en.
