Georgia საქართველო

Facts

Economy
Productive soil and good climate for fruit, tea, cotton, wine and tourism, but the industry and service sectors match agriculture as a percentage of the GDP. Tax reform, anti-corruption measures and some privatizations have won Georgia international favour; much progress has been made since the 2003 "rose revolution". Potential for hydro-electric power remains promising as does the possible exploitation of Georgia's strategic location along an old Silk Road route for European-Asian transit of goods, oil and gas.
