The Infrastructure Builders Association attributes September’s growth in Georgia’s construction sector to previously contracted public projects moving into the implementation phase.
According to Geostat, construction made a positive contribution to economic growth in September, driven mainly by civil engineering projects, including roads, bridges and tunnels.
Irakli Giorgobiani, the association’s Executive Director, told BMG that the government announced GEL 3.5 billion worth of infrastructure tenders in recent months. A significant share of these projects has already been contracted and construction work has begun, contributing to GDP growth.
He expects the sector to expand more rapidly next year, supported by increased public investment. Georgia’s 2027 budget envisages GEL 8 billion in total capital investment, including GEL 3.3 billion for the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development. Additional investment is expected from Georgian Railway, particularly in the railway connection to Anaklia Port and the renewal of rolling stock. Giorgobiani expects even stronger results in 2028.
