GEL 150.00 is a minimum pension in Georgia, which means 5.00 Lari per day for the existence, excluding drugs, communal payments or clothing.

The calculation of the minimum existence level by the official statistics sounds more unbelievable:  From GEL 160.00 an adult spends GEL 112.00 GEL on food or GEL 3.74 per day. For all other expenses including rent, clothing, medicines only GEL 48.00 is left.

Pensions, as well as the consumer basket in Georgia are the lowest in the region.
