National Bank of Georgia (NBG) Governor Natia Turnava and Minister of Finance Lasha Khutsishvili have held a series of high-level meetings with leading investment and asset management firms in the United States as part of Georgia’s preparations for refinancing its Eurobonds in 2026.

According to the National Bank, the meetings were organized in collaboration with major global financial institutions—JP Morgan, Société Générale, Citi, and ICBC—and brought the Georgian delegation together with representatives from up to 15 investment firms based in New York and Boston.

The discussions focused on Georgia’s macroeconomic and fiscal performance, future projections, global market developments, and the country’s broader investment climate. A key topic of the talks was Georgia’s strategy and planning process for the refinancing of its Eurobonds, which mature in 2026.

The NBG noted that the delegation also included Tamta Sopromadze, Head of the Macroeconomics and Statistics Department at the National Bank, and Ekaterine Guntsadze, Deputy Minister of Finance.

In its statement, the National Bank emphasized the importance of ongoing dialogue with international investors, particularly during periods of strategic financial planning. The meetings are considered an essential component of ensuring a smooth and effective refinancing process for Georgia in the coming years.
