Overall, FDI in Georgia amounted to USD 763.7 million during the January–June period, reflecting a 15.5% decline compared to the same period last year. Despite this decrease, energy stood out as one of the few sectors to record growth.
Geostat data shows that the Czech Republic accounted for 60.1% of energy-related FDI, investing approximately USD 75.7 million. Other countries with notable contributions included the Netherlands (USD 9.2 million) and Turkey (USD 3.1 million). Investments from the Marshall Islands, Japan, the United States, China, Cyprus, Denmark, and Estonia remain confidential under Georgia’s Law on Official Statistics, which restricts disclosure when data could directly or indirectly identify investors.
