EMpulse gives finance and operations teams in Georgia today's street GEL rate against the US dollar, shown next to the official rate, in a feed your systems can read.
Today's street rate of the lari
As of 2026-10-28, the street rate for the US dollar in Georgia is 2.4408 GEL per USD, according to the EMpulse Street FX Index (2 sources, confidence medium).
The task: one rate you can defend
Companies in Georgia that invoice in one currency and pay in another need a rate for budgets, contracts and reconciliation. The official rate and the rate people actually pay at the counter can differ, and a figure copied by hand into a spreadsheet is neither current nor traceable. Finance needs the gap, the history, and a number that says how reliable it is.
How the index answers it
EMpulse publishes the street GEL rate against the US dollar and USDT, built from transaction-based market data and quotes from independent public market sources. Every figure carries a confidence class and the number of sources behind it, so you can see how far to lean on it. Pull it by API with a free key, read the premium over the official rate, and use the history for reconciliation and reporting.

Questions from finance teams
- What does the street rate mean here?
- It is the rate at which people actually exchange lari for US dollars, as opposed to the rate set officially. The index shows it next to the official rate so the premium or discount is visible.
- How do I know how far to trust a figure?
- Every figure comes with a confidence class and the number of sources behind it. A lower class or fewer sources is a signal to treat the number as an indication, not a settlement rate.
- Can I connect it to my own systems?
- Yes. The index is delivered by API, so accounting, pricing and treasury tools can read the current figure and the history without manual copying.
- Is there a free option?
- Yes. You can start with a free key and move to Starter or Pro when you need more access. The plans below describe what each one includes.
