According to updated data from the National Statistics Service of Georgia, the volume of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country in 2025 reached $1.9 billion. This indicates a notable recovery in investment activity: the indicator grew by 19.3% compared to 2024 and exceeded preliminary estimates by 12.5%. A significant portion of inflows — 82.5% of the total volume — accounted for reinvestments, which speaks to the confidence of foreign owners in the long-term development of their assets in Georgia.
Geography of investments: leaders and distribution
The investment flow into Georgia remains concentrated in the hands of several major players. Three main investor countries — the United Kingdom, Azerbaijan, and Turkey — provided nearly half of all capital investments, accounting for 44.4% of total FDI volume.
The United Kingdom holds the leading position with investments of $426.6 million. It is followed by Azerbaijan with $214.4 million and Turkey with $202.4 million. The top five investors also include Malta ($148.3 million) and Israel ($145.1 million). Significant amounts were invested by the Netherlands ($136.8 million), the USA ($131.3 million), Russia ($109.5 million), Germany ($73.9 million), and Spain ($66.9 million). Investments from other countries amounted to $245.2 million, which emphasizes the diversified nature of capital inflow.
Sectoral distribution: leaders and prospects
The structure of investments across economic sectors demonstrates the dominance of the financial and insurance sector, which attracted $633.2 million. However, for the real estate market, it is particularly significant that this segment ranks second in investment volume, receiving $254.7 million in foreign direct investments.
In addition to finance and real estate, significant investments are directed to retail trade ($191.1 million), manufacturing ($169.7 million), and the transport sector ($168.4 million). This distribution shows that foreign investors view Georgia not only as a location for financial operations, but also as a territory for material development and creation of real assets, including real estate properties.
The sharp growth of FDI and the stable position of real estate in the investment portfolio indicate a recovery of confidence in the Georgian economy. The high share of reinvestments demonstrates that foreign companies already present in the market are expanding their operations and increasing capital investments, which creates a favorable environment for further development of the real estate sector and related industries.
