Abstract

The paper is devoted to the methodological changes in the calculation of regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP), mainly due to the introduction of the 2008 version of the System of National Accounts in Georgia. Other changes are related to the transition to a new classification system of economic activity (NACE rev2). Because of this, the regional structure of GDP has changed significantly.
Regional GDP on a per capita basis, in 2018 Tbilisi ranks first (6122,5 USD). Then it will be followed by Adjara (5514.3 USD). Their rate is significantly higher than the national rate (4722.0 USD).
The priority directions for calculating regional GDP in Georgia are as follows:
•Receiving data directly from local units (local KAUs) by improving information sources;
•More detailing of regionalization. In particular, at the municipal level;
•Calculate regional GDP at constant prices.
