Mariam Kvrivishvili, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, highlighted the country’s resilience, economic stability, and investment potential during the panel discussion “Georgia – Nexus for Investments,” held within the framework of the Tbilisi Silk Road Forum.

“Georgia has made it through extremely complicated and complex years. It has demonstrated resilience, stability, safety, and consistency,” Kvrivishvili stated, emphasizing that a business-friendly policy forms “the fundamental basis of how the economy keeps growing fast in Georgia.”

According to the Minister, Georgia’s economic growth reached 9.6% over the past two to three years, with an 8% increase already recorded this year compared to the same period last year.

“This brings Georgia to the forefront in the region and among European countries. It takes effort, teamwork, and a strong partnership between the government, private sector, and all stakeholders. We are committed to remaining the most hospitable country in the world—not only for travelers but also for domestic and international investors,” she said.

Kvrivishvili underscored Georgia’s dedication to supporting businesses of all sizes, ensuring access to finance and essential development tools, while naming predictability, safety, and stability as key factors that attract investors.

She expressed gratitude to Mohamed Alabbar, founder of EMAAR Group and Eagle Hills, for spearheading major investment projects in Georgia.

“I had an excellent dialogue with Mr. Alabbar, a great friend and now part of our family, who represents a milestone for our country’s success with his historic USD 6.5 billion investment. This is a tremendous achievement,” she noted.

The Minister also thanked participants of the forum:

“I would like to once again thank everyone who came to Georgia and gave us the honor of hosting over 2,300 delegates from more than 70 countries. The Silk Road Forum has become an important platform for dialogue between governments and the private sector, fostering meaningful cooperation and progress.”

The Georgia – Nexus for Investments panel also featured opening remarks from Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and participation from Mohamed Alabbar (EMAAR Group and Eagle Hills), Giorgi Kuprashvili (Galt & Taggart), Oliver K. Stanton (Trammo, Inc.), and Ebubekir Tivnikli (Eksim Holding).
