Georgia’s Economic Boom Positions It as a Vital Europe-Asia Bridge
Georgia has stood out as a rare success in a troubled region. Despite global economic and political challenges, the country has recorded steady growth and strengthened its role as a key link between Europe and Asia. Leaders recently highlighted its progress at an international forum in Turkmenistan.
Between 2021 and 2024, Georgia’s economy grew at an average rate of 9.8%. Over the same period, GDP per capita more than doubled compared to 2020. Officials attribute this performance to a long-term focus on stability, peace, and sustainable policies.
The government is actively building ties with neighbouring countries and major economies. Azerbaijan, Armenia, EU states, China, and Central Asian nations are now key partners. Both physical trade routes and diplomatic cooperation have been prioritised to reinforce Georgia’s position as a connector.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has described the Middle Corridor—a route linking Asia and Europe—as a 'corridor of trust'. At the recent 'Peace and Trust: Shared Goals for a Sustainable Future' forum, Georgia was presented as a resilient and forward-looking nation. The country’s strategy centres on bridging markets and cultures through reliable infrastructure and diplomacy.
Georgia’s economic rise and strategic partnerships have placed it at the heart of regional trade. The government’s emphasis on stability and connectivity continues to attract global attention. With ongoing investments in infrastructure and diplomacy, the country aims to maintain its role as a vital crossroads between continents.
