Georgian PM highlights stability as “deliberate policy” of his Gov’t

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Tuesday said his Government had preserved macroeconomic discipline, had protected investor confidence, and had maintained peace in one of the world’s most complex regions.

During his speech at the 2026 World Governments Summit in Dubai, Kobakhidze noted that over the past decade, Georgia had demonstrated that stability was a deliberate policy choice and between 2021 and 2025, the economy grew at an average rate of 9.3 percent, even as global trade slowed and uncertainty intensified.

“Transport and logistics are forming the backbone of the national economy and supporting trade-led development. Georgia has committed 7 billion USD to the comprehensive overhaul of its transport infrastructure and we regularly spend 7%-8% of GDP on Capex annually. We have completed the full modernization of our core railway network, doubling capacity and substantially reducing transit time across the country. Rail connectivity has been further strengthened through the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, which provides a direct and reliable rail link between the Caspian Basin and international markets through Georgia”, Kobakhidze said.
