In general, the World Bank has predicted that the annual economic growth in the South Caucasus will stabilize at the level of 3.5 percent during 2024-2026.
"In South Caucasus, growth is projected to stabilize at about 3.5 percent annually over 2024–26.

This rebound is expected to be counterbalanced by the easing of growth in Armenia and Georgia from exceptionally high levels in recent years."
