See how the list of Georgia’s largest companies changed.
According to the preliminary data by the National Statistics Office, the foreign direct investments in Georgia during the third quarter of 2018 came to 322.6 million USD, which is 48.2 percent less compared to the third quarter of 2017. The completion of the phase of construction of the main gas pipeline project combined with the transfer of the ownership of several enterprises to Georgian residents and the reduction of responsibilities towards non-resident direct investors account for the reasons behind the fall in investments.
Compared to the same period last year, 4 new companies are on the list of the top 10 largest investment companies. Namely, instead of last year’s Adjara Energy 2007 ltd, China Railway 23rd. Bureau Group Co.Ltd., LLC Metro Eurasia Georgia and ENKA İnşaat ve Sanayi.
