Exploring Georgia’s Role as a Transit Corridor in Trade with Central Asia
On 24 December 2024, the findings of PMCG’s “Facilitating Trade with Central Asia: Georgia’s Role as a Transit Corridor” policy paper were presented at an event hosted by the Kazakh-Georgian Economic Union.
During proceedings, the founder of the Union, Giorgi Jakhutashvili, guided attendees through the comprehensive document, which offers informed insights into the prospects and potential means of strengthening trade ties between Georgia and Kazakhstan.
In particular, it identifies new, potentially profitable products for exchange and underscores Georgia’s pivotal role as a transit corridor for trade to and from Central Asia.
The event brought together distinguished guests, including the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Georgia and representatives from the private sectors of both counties, to discuss opportunities to enhance bilateral trade and economic collaboration.
PMCG’s paper fueled dialogue among participants who, together, explored actionable steps to deepen trade relations, address the challenges identified in the document, and foster mutually beneficial partnerships.
Stakeholders from both Kazakhstan and Georgia reinforced their shared commitment to expand economic ties, while the paper again highlighted the critical role of research in shaping prudent decisions.
