Azerbaijan tops list of countries driving Georgia’s investment growth—official

Georgia is witnessing a surge in foreign investment, with Azerbaijan, the United States, and Spain leading the inflow, signaling the country’s rising prominence as a regional business hub. The growth of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Georgia underscores the country’s robust and attractive business environment, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vakhtang Tsintsadze stated.

“In the third quarter of 2025, FDI volume doubled, reaching $533.2 million. For the period from January to September, this figure rose by 11 percent, totaling $1.296 billion,” Tsintsadze said, highlighting the steady inflow of capital into the Georgian economy, Caliber.Az reports via local media.

Describing Georgia as a reliable destination for both foreign and domestic investors, he noted that Azerbaijan ranked among the leading countries contributing to the country’s investment growth in the third quarter.

“According to third-quarter data, the largest investments came from the United States, Spain, and Azerbaijan. This further strengthens Georgia’s position as a regional business hub,” Tsintsadze added.

The deputy minister emphasized that the increase in investments spans key sectors, including water supply and waste management, real estate, transport, finance and insurance, and information and communications. He noted that such investments are expected to have a positive impact on medium-term economic growth, with government-backed initiatives further supporting the expansion of these projects in the coming years.
