With a nominal GDP of 32&nbsp;billion [[Georgian lari]] (€10&nbsp;billion) as of 2022, Tbilisi is Georgia’s economic powerhouse, generating more than half of the country’s total GDP.<ref name=gdp/> Its GDP per capita is 26,769 lari (€8,700), exceeding the national average by more than 50 percent.

The economy of Tbilisi is dominated by the service sector, particularly:
* Wholesale and retail trade
* Transport and logistics
* Financial services
* Hospitality and real estate

Reflecting its position as a regional hub, the city hosts the headquarters of most Georgian banks, major companies, and international organizations operating in the South Caucasus region.

The manufacturing sector, while contributing only around 12% to the local GDP, remains larger in absolute value than that of any other Georgian region, covering food processing, construction materials, and light industry.

The unemployment rate in Tbilisi stands at 22.5%, which is significantly higher than the national average.<ref>{{cite web|title=Regional Statistics|url=http://geostat.ge/index.php?action=page&p_id=1181&lang=eng|publisher=Geostat|access-date=6 April 2016|archive-date=16 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160416135238/http://www.geostat.ge/index.php?action=page&p_id=1181&lang=eng|url-status=live}}</ref>

Tbilisi’s diversified economy and relatively advanced infrastructure continue to attract investment from regional and international businesses, contributing to its growing role as a regional business center.
