“Our country’s geographical position, modern infrastructure, stable macroeconomic environment, and strong economic growth create a unique opportunity for Georgia to emerge as a vital hub connecting Europe and Asia, facilitating trade, energy, transport, and now finance,” stated Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze during his speech at the opening of the Tbilisi Finance Summit.

According to the Prime Minister, Georgia has historically served as a bridge between East and West, a crossroads of international trade and transport that has united civilisations and economies for centuries.

“I am pleased that Georgia, alongside the Silk Road Forum, is hosting another significant international event, the Tbilisi Finance Summit, which is being held in our country for the first time this year. The co-organiser of today’s event is the Singaporean organisation Global Finance & Technology Network, whose international network has, alongside the world’s leading nations, already become part of Georgia’s growing global engagement.

For centuries, Georgia has served as a bridge between the East and West, a vital centre of international trade and transport that has united diverse civilisations and economies. Today, amid global economic and geopolitical challenges, this strategic role of Georgia is more evident than ever.

Our country’s geographical location, modern infrastructure, stable macroeconomic environment, and strong economic development trajectory collectively create a unique opportunity for Georgia to become a significant hub, linking Europe and Asia in trade, energy, transport, and now finance,” the Prime Minister concluded.
