Georgia Business Development Project » Overview » IFC in Georgia IFC in Georgia

Georgia joined the IFC in 1995, in the aftermath of economic collapse and civil unrest after independence. IFC designed its strategy to address Georgia's limited foreign investments, the non-existence of large companies, limited access to financing for a nascent SME sector, and the lack of advice for private companies on business related issues (e.g. corporate governance, leasing).

During the last 9 years IFC has been involved in the following activities in Georgia:

Technical Assistance Work
Support to Local Companies
Private Advisory Service
IFC's Investment in Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Pipeline
IFC's Strategy for FY04-06
