The article discusses the impact of COVID-19 on Georgia's economy and demography and the challenges the country faces in the post-pandemic situation. The pandemic had a burdensome impact on the already fragile economy of Georgia. This has affected tourism, putting people employed in the tourism and hospitality sector under severe financial pressure. Small businesses were affected, unemployment increased, and a large migration followed. The pandemic has burdened the health sector and increased the death rate. The country's economy is trying to regain its strength post-pandemic. However, the region has now found itself the harbinger of another challenge: the subject of a separate study.
