About the currency
The Georgian lari is Georgia’s national currency, identified by the code GEL. The National Bank of Georgia conducts monetary policy. For payments within the country, the price in lari matters even when a travel budget was originally planned in dollars or euros.
Interest rates, inflation, tourism receipts, foreign trade and remittances can influence the lari. GEL/UAH also reflects conditions in Ukraine’s currency market. Lari is bought for travel, accommodation and local payments in Georgia. Check GEL cash availability in Ukrainian exchange offices in advance and compare the full cost of a direct exchange with conversion through another currency.
