National Bank Says It Purchased $333 Million in Foreign Currency in April
The National Bank of Georgia (NBG) said it purchased USD 333.3 million through the Bmatch trading platform in April, bringing the country’s international reserves to USD 6.47 billion. Total net purchases in January-April 2026 reached USD 833 million.
The April purchase follows net sales of USD 16.2 million in March and net purchases of USD 429.3 million in February and USD 86.6 million in January. It also follows the NBG’s broader policy of building up foreign exchange reserves over the past year.
The NBG 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.”
The central bank will publish updated data on June 25, 2026.
