Georgia’s growing presence on the global financial map is no coincidence. In recent years, the country has demonstrated strong economic growth, preserved financial stability amid global turbulence, and created a favourable investment climate, said Natia Turnava, Governor of the National Bank of Georgia, at the Tbilisi Financial Summit.

According to Turnava, Georgia has established and continues to maintain a stable macroeconomic environment, marked by near double-digit economic growth and relatively low inflation — a combination that, she noted, sets the country apart even from more developed economies.

The NBG Governor also highlighted the strength of Georgia’s banking sector, describing it as resilient to external shocks, highly capitalised, profitable, and characterised by high asset quality.

“It is not surprising that, over the years, Georgia’s financial sector has led the way in attracting foreign direct investment compared to other industries. Interest from both regional and global investors continues to grow, and as a result, several new groups are entering the Georgian market,” Turnava said.

The Tbilisi Financial Summit officially opened today at the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet State Theatre. It is being held for the first time this year within the Silk Road Forum. The opening ceremony was led by Natia Turnava, while guests were welcomed by the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, the Speaker of Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, and the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Mariam Kvrivishvili.

According to the National Bank, one of the co-organisers of the summit is the Global Finance and Technology Network (GFTN), a leading international platform in the financial technology sector.
