Georgia has many opportunities for investment across various sectors of its economy. It offers a business friendly environment with low taxes and a stable banking sector. Key sectors of opportunity include hydroelectric power, tourism, and manufacturing. Georgia has significant untapped hydroelectric potential and is well positioned to export power to neighboring countries facing energy deficits. The tourism industry is growing rapidly as visitor numbers increase yearly. Georgia also has potential for import substitution and export of manufactured goods due to its strategic location and trade agreements.
