The National Competitiveness Report (NCR) for Georgia aims to complement the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report by providing an in-depth and comprehensive treatment of competitiveness issues. In particular, it will explore the potential for Georgia to leverage its geographic location and business environment to assume the role of a hub economy in the greater Caucasus region. The overall aim of the project was to generate the first National Competitiveness Report (NCR) for Georgia, following the World Economic Forum's methodology.
The report was used to engage the government and relevant stakeholders in a discussion of policy reforms to promote Georgia's attractiveness as an investment destination. In particular, we explored the potential for Georgia to leverage its geographic location and business environment to assume the role of a hub economy in the greater Caucasus region. Production of the report is supported by the USAID Georgian Policy, Advocacy and Civil Society Development (G-PAC) Project. Other partners include the USAID Economic Prosperity Initiative, the Georgian National Security Council and the National Bank of Georgia.
