Stability key to attracting investment and boosting Georgia’s economic growth - Georgian Gov’t Administration Head

Levan Zhorzholiani, the head of the Georgian government administration, on Friday emphasised that political stability and peace were the primary drivers for attracting foreign investment and ensuring long-term economic prosperity. 

Speaking on the country’s strategic development, Zhorzholiani noted that Georgia's role as a regional hub is being strengthened through massive infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing global connectivity. 

He further stressed that the Georgian government was making significant state investments to bolster the country's function as a “bridge” between East and West. 

“Very large investments are being carried out in this direction - I am referring to state investments in infrastructure, including the ongoing construction of highways. Work is also progressing on major projects such as the Anaklia deep sea Port, the Black Sea submarine cable, and the airport project. All of this is linked to energy security, the economy, the concept of connectivity, and the general development of the Middle Corridor. It aligns with the commitments made to our partners to be a reliable partner and to serve as a logistical hub within this supply chain - a place where companies can transport cargo or conduct business processes comfortably with high-quality services. Furthermore, stability creates a very strong foundation for attracting further investment to the country”, Zhorzholiani said.

“The state's efforts to attract investment will double. The Economic Development Corporation is a very interesting project that consolidates the products previously held by the Ministry of Economy; this will further contribute to maintaining stable economic growth. We must utilize the current political stability and peace to ensure the country generates more income, which should ultimately be reflected in the well-being of the population”, he continued.

Zhorzholiani further underscored the country's serious progress in every international index, following the systemic decisions that the government made in previous years.

“In terms of international indexes, 2025 was a successful year. Many independent research organisations evaluate countries with indexes of economic freedom, freedom from corruption, human rights, and the rule of law. We have made serious progress everywhere. This is due to the systemic decisions that the government has made in previous years, and this will be reflected in subsequent indices”, he added.

He noted that international indexes were a kind of guide for investors, important for attracting foreign direct investment.

image Georgia's transport sector posts steady growth; we expect country's transit hub status to strengthen further - Deputy Economy Minister

24.04.2026.16:54

“We are doing everything in our power to ensure that Georgia, as a key link in the Middle Corridor, is reliable, predictable, and fast,” said Tamar Ioseliani, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia.

She explained that cargo turnover at Georgia’s ports follows an upward trajectory. According to Ioseliani, the current figures send a very clear signal that the transport sector in Georgia is sustaining stable and dynamic growth, and, crucially, that this growth has now taken on a systemic character.

“2025 was an exceptionally strong year in terms of cargo turnover, marked by consistently dynamic and stable growth. That momentum has carried through into the first quarter of 2026. During the reporting period, our ports handled in excess of approximately 4.3 million tonnes of cargo, representing a growth of around 15 per cent compared with the same period in the previous year. It is also particularly encouraging that growth in container volumes is being maintained; some 188,000 TEUs were processed, reflecting an increase of approximately 6 per cent. It is worth noting that 2025 was a record-breaking year in this regard, with around 750,000 containers handled, a roughly 8 per cent increase over the year before,” the Deputy Minister noted.

Ioseliani stressed that the government is taking every possible measure to increase cargo flows through Georgia, with a considerable number of infrastructure projects currently underway in support of that goal. She added that the current year has got off to a very strong start in terms of freight volumes, and that, should this momentum be sustained, 2026 as a whole stands to be even more fruitful.

“We expect the growth trend to continue throughout the year, and for Georgia’s position as a regional transit hub to be consolidated still further,” said Tamar Ioseliani.
