Georgia currently holds free trade agreements (FTAs) with 46 countries and one administrative entity, covering 87% of the nation’s exports, Deputy Economy Minister Genadi Arveladze announced. Agreements include the EU, China, Hong Kong, UAE, and other partners, providing Georgian producers access to a consumer market of approximately USD 2.3 billion.
Arveladze highlighted ongoing negotiations to expand FTAs. Two recent meetings were held with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), potentially granting access to an additional $60 million market. Negotiations with Serbia are expected to begin soon, discussions with Israel are planned for 2026, and talks with South Korea have concluded with legal procedures underway. These developments would open over $130 million in new markets for Georgian businesses.
The ministry also supports exporters through the “Enterprise Georgia” program, helping them increase product visibility and market presence internationally. Arveladze noted that in the first 11 months of 2025, Georgian exports grew by over 10% compared to the previous year, exceeding annual targets.
Export diversification has also increased: Georgian products were shipped to 134 countries, with growth recorded in 70 markets and exports doubling or more in 20 countries, reflecting the positive impact of trade agreements and export promotion initiatives.
