The main export markets for Georgia were neighboring and regional countries until this year. In 2020, Armenia left the list due to the high tariffs imposed by the Eurasian Economic Union on the neighboring country.
However, Caucasus Autoimport says that it has not been a surprise for their business. According to the company, despite the pandemic, demand for used cars is not decreased, but supply is reduced, which resulted in price growth on cars at the auctions.
