There are several factors that make US investments in Georgia attractive:
- Georgia has a strong political support from US government (Georgia has troops in Iraq);
- Georgia has a strategic location and provides important access to Greater Middle Eastern and Central Asian Region. Entering Georgia means entering potentially large regional market.
- Georgia has a track record of the successful international infrastructure projects, predominantly energy infrastructure: pipelines and oil terminals.
- Georgia enjoys strong support from International Financial Institutions, and from investment promotion agencies, including US Exim-Bank, OPIC and TDA. Those agencies supported Air Traffic Control upgrade, two Marriott hotels, several banks and telecom projects.
- Privatization of maritime and air ports, telecom assets and other industrial assets in Georgia have business case for the investors.
- Georgia is a transit country with increasing rail, highway and over-flight traffic, which provides with excellent business opportunities to US businesses in the areas of transportation, hospitality and food business, as well as financial institutions.
