Country Strategy
MSME sector in Georgia has been growing as SMEs make up the majority of the new registered businesses. Regional economic development remains highly disproportionate with more than half of the business concentrated in the capital Tbilisi. In rural locations basic training is particularly important in the areas of business skills, market analysis, accounting, financial reporting and HR. While in capital and larger cities demand for implementation of advanced internationally recognized quality management systems is growing.
Business Advisory Services (BAS) and the Enterprise Growth Programme (EGP) activities with MSMEs in Georgia are guided by the BAS and EGP country brief which is included in the overall EBRD strategy for the country. This strategy also gives a useful MSME market overview of Georgia.
