Within the framework of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington, the Governor of the National Bank of Georgia (NBG), Natia Turnava, and the Minister of Finance, Lasha Khutsishvili, along with other members of the Georgian delegation, held a series of meetings with leading international investment funds, the NBG reports.

According to the Bank, discussions took place with representatives of major U.S. and global investment institutions, including Citibank, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, Azimut Group, PGIM, Aktia, Artisan Partners, Eaton Vance, Fidelity Boston (FMR), Janus Capital, TCW, Nationwide and others.

During the meetings, Turnava and Khutsishvili delivered presentations outlining Georgia’s macroeconomic environment and investment potential to institutional investors and large international funds.

Turnava briefed investors on current macroeconomic trends and the state of the Georgian financial sector. She highlighted that Georgia’s economy has shown resilience to global shocks and geopolitical uncertainty in recent years. Thanks to consistent monetary policy, inflation has been successfully contained: after a period of elevated inflation, it has remained below the target for the past two years and is now fluctuating close to target levels. She also noted strong financial sector indicators, robust economic growth and rising international reserves.

Turnava thanked foreign investors for their continued interest and confidence in the Georgian financial market, emphasizing that a number of major American and European investment funds are already operating in Georgia and are considering expanding their portfolio in the country.

“One of the key objectives of the Georgian delegation’s visit to the United States was to hold intensive meetings with investors. These are global investment funds – some are already active in our market, while others plan to enter by purchasing government securities. There is also increasing interest in corporate securities, which means direct investment in our economy and additional capital inflows. Together with the Ministry of Finance, we briefed them on the economic situation and the attractiveness of our investment climate, and we hope that investment volumes will continue to grow,” Turnava said.
