Investments in the development of Georgia’s transport and logistics infrastructure for 2026-2031 will amount to $7 billion, the country’s Economy Minister Mariam Kvrivishvili said, speaking in Tashkent at the second forum of investors in the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor.
“To fully realize the transport and logistics potential of Central Asia, the Caspian region, the South Caucasus and the Black Sea, coordinated financing is crucial. In this regard, Georgia has committed to invest $7 billion in key transportation and logistics infrastructure by 2032,” Kvrivishvili said, quoted by the press service of the Economy Ministry.
According to her, the realization of these plans will require more active participation of the private sector in addition to the permanent participation of international financial institutions.
The Minister said that the priorities in the field of transport and logistics of Georgia in 2026 will be the complete renewal of railroad rolling stock and freight fleet, completion of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTC) railroad, as well as the introduction of unified digital services for both the public and private sectors in order to reduce the transit time in the country by 30%.
She also announced the signing of an agreement on the Caspian Sea-Black Sea international transportation route between Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Romania this December. “This initiative will create a new multimodal route from the Caspian region to the European Union, increasing transport connectivity, diversifying access routes and strengthening sustainability,” the minister said.
In addition, Kvrivishvili reiterated plans to build a deep-water port in Anaklia. “Once launched, Anaklia port will be able to handle up to 600,000 TEUs in the first phase by 2029 and at least 1 million TEUs in the second phase by 2035, which will allow Georgia to become the main hub for Central Asian cargo in the Black Sea region,” the minister said.
