The volume of foreign direct investment in Georgia in 2025 increased by 7.6% compared to the previous year and reached $1.69 billion. Such preliminary data was published by the National Statistics Office of Georgia, Geostat. The growth is attributed to an increase in equity capital and reinvested earnings of companies.

Equity capital in the investment structure amounted to $601.8 million, which is 15.3% more than a year earlier, and its share reached 35.6%. Debt obligations, including trade credits and loans, amounted to $310.9 million. At the same time, the main contribution to the overall indicator was made by reinvestments — they increased by 3.8% and reached $1.397 billion, occupying more than 82% of the investment structure.

The largest investor in the country's economy was the United Kingdom with investments of $334.2 million (19.8%). This is followed by Turkey ($180.8 million) and Malta ($173.7 million). Significant funds also came from the USA, Azerbaijan, the Netherlands, Spain, Russia, Israel and Germany.

The most popular areas for investment remain financial and insurance activities, the real estate market, and the transport sector.
