According to the report of the National Statistics Office of Georgia, the volume of foreign investments in the third quarter of the current year has more than doubled compared to the previous year. Economic experts in Georgia note that despite the tensions arising from parliamentary elections last year, local government elections this year, and ongoing protests on the country\u2019s main avenues for over a year, the Georgian economy remains stable. This stability has contributed to the observed increase in foreign capital inflows. A key factor underlying this trend is the government\u2019s declared \u201cpeace instead of war\u201d policy. Experts also highlight that one of the main drivers of investment growth is the rise in reinvestment levels. The real estate sector has attracted the highest volume of investments, as property transactions and rising prices continue to appeal to foreign investors. The trend of increasing investments is expected to persist, driven by projects such as the $6.5 billion Arab investment, the construction of the Anaklia port, the planned new airport in 2026, and other infrastructure developments.<\/p>\n
In the third quarter of 2025, the volume of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Georgia amounted to USD 533.2 million, which is twice the revised figure for the same quarter in 2024.<\/p>\n
