We have very liberal economic and tax policies. Georgia offers a favourable environment for business and investment, which supports the country’s economic development – Kobakhidze

We have very liberal economic and tax policies. Georgia offers a favourable environment for business and investment, which supports the country’s economic development. Georgian Prime Minister made this statement in an interview with the United Arab Emirates media outlet “Gulf News”.

We have multiple priorities, and one of the key priorities is Georgia"s economic growth. Since 2021, the average economic growth in Georgia has been more than 9.5%; it was 9.5% last year, and we started this year with 11.1%. This means we are keeping this trend of economic growth consistent. That is one of the country"s key goals.

We have very liberal economic and tax policies. Georgia offers a favourable environment for business and investment, which supports the country’s economic development. We are doing a lot to further promote economic development and invest in strengthening Georgia’s connectivity functions, which is another one of our key priorities. Georgia"s strategic location adds to the strength of our connectivity function, and we use it to unlock our economic potential as much as possible. We want to strengthen this function of Georgia within the framework of the Middle Corridor.

We are investing strongly in infrastructure for that purpose. We are constructing new highways that will span the entire country, and by the end of this year, the motorway from Tbilisi to Batumi will be completed. This highway is planned to extend to the Azerbaijani and Armenian borders, but it was originally designed with regional connectivity in mind.

Additionally, we are investing in railway and airport infrastructure and will soon begin construction of a new international airport in Tbilisi. The current airport"s capacity is around four million passengers, but the new one is designed to accommodate 18 million. The number of visitors to Georgia is increasing steadily annually, and the new airport will address this demand. We aim to establish Georgia as a hub for tourism and other forms of connectivity”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
