How much is the lari in rubles today, and where can you check the rate?
The National Bank of Georgia's official rate and exchange office rates.
Short answer
The National Bank of Georgia publishes the official lari rate against the ruble and other currencies every day. Exchange offices use slightly different rates, and the exact figure is always on their board. The rate changes daily, so check the current figure with the National Bank or at an exchange office.
Why
- The National Bank of Georgia sets the official lari rate every working day.
- Exchange offices and banks set their own buying and selling rates, which differ from the official one.
- Georgian banks publish their rates, including for the ruble, on their websites and apps.
Details
You can find the official rate at nbg.gov.ge. A rough rate is handy for estimating prices, but check the exchange office board when exchanging: the gap between buying and selling rates is usually wider for rubles than for dollars and euros.
Tip
Before exchanging a large sum, compare a few exchange offices: the difference can be noticeable.
What may differ
Rates at airport and tourist-area exchange offices are usually worse than in town and change during the day.
Common misconception
The lari rate is the same everywhere because the National Bank sets it.
What actually happens
The National Bank publishes an official rate, but banks and exchange offices set their own, and the difference can be noticeable.
