    Georgia and the EIB

    Since 2010, our operations in Georgia have promoted economic and social development in the country. We have supported key sectors, including energy, transport, water and wastewater management, sustainable agriculture and small businesses.

    Our financing in Georgia is aligned with the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), the Eastern Partnership (EaP) and other EU bilateral agreements. Our operations are guided by the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy and the EU Economic and Investment Plan for Eastern Partnership.

    We support the preparation and implementation of complex projects through technical assistance, enabled by donor contributions to EIB trust funds, such as the Eastern Partnership Technical Assistance Trust Fund (EPTATF) and the International Climate Initiative Fund. We work hand-in-hand with our partners from Team Europe to promote territorial development and green projects. We also support reforms aimed at strengthening Georgia’s economy as it pursues EU membership.

    In Georgia, we have focused on:

    Transport

    We have helped to expand Georgia’s road transport system, making it safer and easier to travel to and from neighbouring countries and the European Union.

    Climate and energy

    We finance renewable energy and energy efficiency projects that help reduce carbon emissions. We also support sustainable water and wastewater management projects in the country, including the modernisation of irrigation schemes, promoting water-saving technologies and sustainable farming.

    PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

    We support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Georgia by facilitating access to financing that can otherwise be hard to obtain. We stepped up this support when it was needed most during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing more than €160 million in financing to help cushion the economic fallout from the crisis.

    DIGITALISATION

    Our digitalisation efforts in Georgia include expanding high-speed internet to rural residents through an extensive fiber optics network. This initiative aims to bridge the urban-rural digital gap, stimulate job growth, and boost local businesses. Our investments in Georgia’s digital transition not only improve living conditions and create new business opportunities but also increase digital inclusion for women, social minorities, and individuals with disabilities, fostering a more connected and equitable society.
