Following the Czech parliamentary elections, GD Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze congratulated Andrej Babis on his victory and expressed hope for renewed partnership between the two countries. While political relations have recently been strained, Prague imposed sanctions on Georgian officials earlier this year, economic and investment ties still remain significant.
Bilateral trade reached USD 137.5 million in the first eight months of 2025, with Georgian exports totaling USD 14.3 million and imports from the Czech Republic at USD 123 million. Last year, Georgia’s exports to the Czech Republic grew by 17% to USD 26.5 million, while imports declined by 4% to USD 211 million.
Remittances also form an important link. Between January and August 2025, Georgians received USD 5.6 million in transfers from the Czech Republic. Annual remittances have steadily grown in recent years, reaching USD 8.2 million in 2024, compared to USD 5.9 million in 2021. Investment ties are also notable: Czech investments peaked in 2022 at nearly USD 85 million, and in 2023–2024 stood at around USD 14.7 million. The Czech-owned energy company Energo-Pro Georgia remains one of the largest foreign investors in the country’s energy sector.
As for tourism, in the first two quarters of 2025, the number of visitors from the Czech Republic to Georgia rose by 19%, reaching 6,000. Despite political challenges, economic and social ties between the two countries continue to expand, with trade, investment, remittances, and tourism serving as key areas of cooperation.
