Eagle Hills investment proves that global capital sees Georgia not just as a transit point, but also as a long-term partner in logistics, development and innovation- PM

Investor confidence is growing, with Eagle Hills’ recent $6.6 billion investment indicating that global capital sees Georgia not just as a transit point, but also as a long-term partner in logistics, development and innovation, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said in his speech at the 2026 World Government Summit.

According to him, Georgia is in the top four out of 101 countries in the World Bank’s Doing Business ranking as of 2025, along with Korea, Singapore and Estonia.

“We also rank second in the world in terms of efficiency and prompt resolution of disputes, and fourth in terms of business location. According to the Fraser Institute’s 2025 Index of Economic Freedom of the World, we rank 25th out of 165 countries in the world. In the 2025 Index of World Crime Statistics, NUMBEO ranks Georgia among the top 20 safest countries. All this creates a favorable environment for investments, business growth, and overall economic stability,” the Prime Minister noted.

According to Irakli Kobakhidze, Georgia, which connects continents and serves as a major transport and connectivity hub for the seven landlocked countries of the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea region, and Central Asia, calls on governments, investors, and business leaders to collaborate in creating sustainable supply chains—ones that reduce risks, expand opportunities, and overcome fragmentation by creating connections.

“There is a corridor where cargo, data, energy and capital move predictably across continents – where infrastructure is secured through cooperation and not constrained by politics, and where peace is not just a principle but also a well-thought-out economic strategy. In this fragmented world, prosperity is built not on dividing walls, but on bridges. Today, more than ever, the wealth of nations depends on the builders of these bridges. Georgia is ready to be one of these bridges itself,” the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister also drew attention to the Anaklia Port project.

“We are developing the Anaklia Deepsea Port Project – a strategically important infrastructure designed to accommodate large container ships and increase the capacity of Black Sea ports. Anaklia is not just a port; it is a platform for increasing transit rates, attracting global shipping lines, and strengthening the role of the Black Sea as a competitive gateway between Europe and Asia.

We believe that facilitating trade is as important as physical infrastructure, which is why Georgia pays great attention to efficient border procedures, predictable transit, and facilitation of international shipments.

Ambitious infrastructure projects, combined with an effective regulatory framework and regional cooperation, create an integrated ecosystem that exists not for short-term benefits, but for long-term sustainability,” said Kobakhidze.
