Doing Business in Georgia
Over the past decade, Georgia’s economy has grown robustly at an average annual rate of 4.5 percent. This was despite numerous shocks, including the global financial crisis of 2007–08 and the drop in commodity prices since 2014, which impacted key trading partners.
Deep reforms in economic management and governance have earned Georgia a reputation of “star reformer.” To bolster the private sector, Georgia has introduced rules and regulations that make it easier to do business, and the country’s international ratings on governance and the investment climate have soared.
The Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area agreement with the European Union (EU) and the Free Trade Agreement with China are expected to boost trade integration. Moreover, energy, tourism, and agribusiness can potentially help to integrate the country further into the regional and global economies.
For centuries, Georgia's location along the Silk Road, and other heavily traveled trading routes between Europe and Asia, has provided an undeniable economic advantage. Today, this strategic location continues to provide opportunity, giving Georgia ready access to foreign markets and a large number of international trading partners. It has one of the lowest and most manageable tax regimes in the world, an improving and more stable political and business climate, relatively low operating costs and an increasingly supportive government.
There have been several positive developments that point towards a favorable economic climate in Georgia. According to the Heritage Foundation and its Index of Economic Freedom, Georgia ranks 16thout of 178 countries, marking an 83-spot jump from 10 years prior.
As per the World Bank’s list of ranking countries on the basis of the ease of doing business, Georgia takes 6thplace among 190 countries. In 2005, it stood at number 112, which serves as a testament to how far the country has come. In addition to this, Transparency International’s latest Global Corruption Barometer from 2013 put Georgia at just 5%.
