About Georgian Lari ()

The Georgian Lari (GEL, ISO 4217 code 981, symbol ₾) is the official currency of Georgia, issued by the National Bank of Georgia (NBG, est. 1991). Subdivided into 100 tetri ('white' in Georgian, historically a silver coin name). Banknotes: ₾5, ₾10, ₾20, ₾50, ₾100, ₾200 (the highest denomination, introduced 2006; current series features Georgian historical figures — Ivane Javakhishvili, Akaki Tsereteli, Ilia Chavchavadze, Queen Tamar of Georgia, Shota Rustaveli, Davit IV the Builder); coins: 1 tetri, 2 tetri, 5 tetri, 10 tetri, 20 tetri, 50 tetri, ₾1, ₾2. The lari replaced the kupon (transitional currency 1993-1995) at GEL1 = 1,000,000 kupons on September 25, 1995. The lari symbol ₾ was officially introduced July 8, 2014 — designed by Malkhaz Shvelidze. Georgia is a small economy (~$25B GDP) but a popular tourist destination (~6 million visitors annually pre-COVID) and has pursued aggressive integration with Western institutions — it has been a NATO Membership Action Plan candidate since 2008 and signed an EU Association Agreement in 2014. NBG targets 3% CPI inflation per the Inflation-Targeting framework.
