How is the economy doing? Georgian Economic Performance Index (G-EPI)

G-EPI is a combined indicator that examines the overall performance of a country’s economy and reports deviations from the desired level of economic performance. The desired level of selected macro variables are defined based on the benchmarks given in the new social-economic 10-year Action Plan of the Georgian Government. G-EPI is comprised of 5 important macro indicators visible below the graph. It is designed for simplicity, making it easier for professionals and laypeople alike to understand and apply to the economy.
