TBILISI, February 4 – Sputnik. In Georgia, 183,500 variable rate loans depend on the refinancing rate, specifies the NGO “Society and Banks” in a press release.
From December 1 to January 1, 2021, the number of variable rate loans increased by 8.2 thousand. According to NGOs, loans totaling 8.7 billion lari depend on the rate. As of January 1, variable rate loans accounted for 41.1% of the total lari loan portfolio.

Annual inflation in December stood at 13.9%, which could be a blow to the economy, if it affects long-term inflation expectations,” the NGO said in a statement.
