According to the Head of Gove, Georgia has the most open economy in the world, which was confirmed by the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and major international investors of Georgia. We welcome, encourage and invite American entrepreneurs to enjoy the opportunities offered by Georgia. Thanks to our location, our immediate regional market includes 500 million people. We offer American businesses a unique and vital access to European and Asian markets. Georgia is a gateway for 8 European landlocked countries.
