Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated that the government is continuing reforms to establish a world-class capital market ecosystem. Speaking at the second international Capital Markets Conference, he thanked organizers TBC Capital and the National Bank of Georgia, noting the event brings together global investors, policymakers, and financial institutions at a time of significant economic and geopolitical change.
Kobakhidze highlighted record growth in the domestic corporate bond market in 2025, with a 33.3% increase from the previous year, reflecting a mature ecosystem where local businesses are competitive and global investors are ready to partner. The introduced accumulative pension system has already helped accumulate nearly GEL 9 billion, creating a strong base of long-term local investors.
He emphasized ongoing reforms to deepen the capital market, including improving infrastructure, expanding financing instruments, and ensuring a transparent, investor-friendly regulatory framework aligned with international standards. Georgia remains committed to stability, predictability, and long-term partnerships, offering both market access and growth opportunities.
Kobakhidze also underlined Georgia’s strategic role amid global economic shifts. Its geographic location and infrastructure make it a key node in the Middle Corridor connecting Europe and Central Asia. A well-functioning capital market supports economic growth, private sector development, and access to long-term financing. Georgia’s economy remains strong, with average GDP growth of 9.3% from 2021–2025 and 7.9% growth in January 2026.
