Georgia ranks among top 20 of EU member, candidate states with property rights protection

The Chandler Institute published a ranking of property rights protection as part of its Good Government 2025 report, placing Georgia among the top twenty countries of European Union member and candidate states.

The indicator’s methodology was based on thematic surveys conducted by the World Economic Forum and Prindex.

The surveys measured, on the one hand, the extent to which property rights were protected in a country, and, on the other hand, the likelihood that property owners would lose their right to use their property or part of it against their will in the next five years.

Georgia received a strong overall score, ranking 36th worldwide and 19th among the top 20 EU member and candidate states.

Georgia outperformed 15 OECD, EU and NATO member states. These countries include Poland, Croatia, Latvia, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Turkey and South Korea.
