Foreign Direct Investment Trends and Policies in Georgia

Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a volatile yet essential source of foreign currency inflow in Georgia and accounts for the bulk of total investments undertaken in the country. Nevertheless, achieving stable investment inflows remains a challenge. Moreover, the impact of FDI on economic growth and employment figures has not reached its full potential, due mainly to insufficient institution building and the failure to create a predictable and stable business environment in the country.
