When it comes to robust economic growth, Georgia is standout leader in our region and outperforms EU member states - Minister of Economy
“It is highly significant that our country’s economy continues to grow year after year. Naturally, we are dedicating immense effort to ensuring that every sector and segment of the Georgian economy grows consistently and sustainably,” stated the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Mariam Kvrivishvili, whilst commenting on the latest report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
According to the IMF report, Georgia’s economic growth forecast for 2026 has been significantly revised upward from April’s projections, now reaching 6.5%. Mariam Kvrivishvili noted that it is incredibly welcoming that confidence in Georgia is growing, with international financial institutions rating the country in an equally positive light.
The Minister emphasised that the Georgian Government implements numerous vital reforms annually, maintains close cooperation with the private sector, and actively works to attract investment to drive sectoral development; all of which ultimately feeds into the country’s dynamic economic growth.
“Of course, this is no accident. When we talk about robust economic growth, our country stands out as a direct result of these policies, positioning us as a leader in our region and compared to EU member states.
I am confident that 2026 will be yet another successful year for our nation, securing another milestone in economic growth by the year’s end. We will witness even more tangible results and, most importantly, these tangible outcomes will directly translate into the prosperity and rising living standards of our country’s population,” the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development stated.

Georgian Economy Minister Mariam Kvrivishvili on Friday said the planned railway connection between Kyrgyzstan, China and Uzbekistan was a highly significant initiative that would have a direct positive impact on Georgia by increasing cargo volumes along the Middle Corridor and further strengthening the country’s transit role.
Speaking to journalists while assessing the Georgian Government delegation’s visit to Kyrgyzstan, Kvrivishvili noted the Government was actively continuing railway modernisation and the development of the Anaklia deep-sea port to expand Georgia’s cargo-handling capacity.
“We are investing significant resources to ensure Georgia’s cargo throughput capacity increases year by year. We have a major railway modernisation plan aimed at substantially increasing existing cargo capacity in the coming years, while also reducing transit, movement and mobility times”, she said.
Kvrivishvili highlighted the railway project linking Kyrgyzstan, China and Uzbekistan as an important regional initiative.
“It is a very important initiative by Kyrgyzstan, China and Uzbekistan, which will connect the three countries by rail. This will have a directly positive effect on our country, as the route will become part of the broader Middle Corridor framework. Within this initiative, it can be confidently said that cargo volumes along the Middle Corridor are expected to increase significantly from around 2031, and it is important that all countries are prepared for this development”, the Minister concluded.
