The Georgian state continues to serve as a strong partner for the construction sector through the implementation of several large-scale and strategically important infrastructure projects, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili said.

While summarizing the results of 2025, Kvrivishvili noted that Georgia has achieved record-breaking indicators in key sectors, including exports and tourism.

She emphasized the significance of a major investment totaling USD 6.6 billion, stating that it will have a substantial positive impact on the country’s economy. According to the minister, the decision has already improved Georgia’s international positioning and visibility, leading to increased interest from foreign investors.

“As for the benefits of such a large investment for every citizen, the most important value lies in job creation,” Kvrivishvili said. “During the construction phase, 24,000 new jobs will be created in Gonio and the capital. Once the project becomes operational, more than 8,000 permanent jobs will be created.”

The minister also highlighted the government’s significant investments in the modernization of Georgian Railways. She explained that the upgrades aim to double the current cargo throughput capacity while reducing transportation time.

“This will further strengthen Georgia’s positioning and competitiveness,” Kvrivishvili said. “Together with the Anaklia Port and modernized railways, Georgia will be able to play an even greater role in the Middle Corridor and make a meaningful contribution to regional connectivity.”
