“It is pleasing to hear that, based on the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in medium-term perspective, in 2026-2030, Georgia will continue to be the leader and have the highest economic growth, with an average 5.1%,” said Mariam Kvrivishvili, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development at the opening of the Georgia-Croatia business forum.

According to the Minister, similar format meetings provide an excellent opportunity to contribute to the economic growth of the countries.

“The year 2025 was especially successful – our country demonstrated record achievements in foreign trade: exports increased by more than 11%. Also, we received a record amount, USD 4.7 billion in revenues from the tourism industry, and the number of tourist flows hit a record.

The policy we are pursuing, including in the transport sector, has had a direct impact on the strengthening of the aviation sector. We are honoured to have been given the opportunity to host a record number of passengers at all three international airports in the country,” Mariam Kvrivishvili stated.
