In 2021, as society opened, and COVID-19 infections fell, consumers began spending again and updating their wardrobes, as they socialised again. As a result, current value sales in retailing grew after a decline in the previous year. The Georgian economy is quite dependent on the money spent by foreign visitors, which had been absent during the previous year. Visitors from the North Caucasian republics, Iran and Armenia appreciate the wide product range and more affordable prices in Georgia.
