Investment Environment in Georgia
Over the past decades, Georgia has developed into an open, forward-looking country with the potential to become a key technological hub in the region. While this goal is ambitious, it is also realistic, given the proactive steps we are taking to create a healthy environment for business growth. This has not gone unnoticed by international organizations. Georgia is a strategic destination for leading global economies, offering foreign companies an attractive investment climate.
Doing Business in Georgia
Since 2021, the World Bank’s Business Ready (B-READY) index has replaced the Ease of Doing Business ranking. Georgia is ranked among the top three countries in this index, alongside Estonia and Singapore.
The B-READY index aims to provide a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the business environment for private sector development. It evaluates all three stages of a company's life cycle:
Business establishment
Business operation/expansion
Business closure
Notably, Georgia ranks in the top 10 globally for 7 out of 10 indicators. These indicators are assessed based on three key aspects: Regulatory Framework, Public Services, and Operational Efficiency. Georgia ranks 2nd worldwide in Operational Efficiency, 3rd in Regulatory Framework, and 14th in Public Services. As of 2024, these rankings reaffirm Georgia’s position as one of the most attractive investment environments in the world.
Foreign Direct Investment in Georgia
In 2024, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Georgia exceeded $966 million. The largest investments came from the Netherlands ($60.2 million), while the lowest investment was from the Virgin Islands ($12.7 million).
Investments were distributed across economic sectors as follows:
Manufacturing (32.2%)
Energy (21.8%)
Trade (16.2%)
Real Estate (11.6%)
Transport (10.8%)
Administrative Activities (6.2%)
Other Sectors (1.2%)
Although 2024 was not the best year for FDI in Georgia, economic indicators suggest positive growth, laying the groundwork for a much stronger investment year in 2025.
Strategic Location
Georgia’s unique and strategic location makes it a vital bridge between Europe and Asia. The country serves as the shortest trade route to the European market for eight Asian nations. Georgia has free trade agreements with the European Union, China, Hong Kong, CIS countries, and Turkey, opening new business opportunities and making the country even more attractive to investors.
