15.01.2022 Georgia is No. 7 in the world in the World Bank’s latest Ease of Doing Business report, for one. Already well known for its tourism and its business process outsourcing prowess, Georgia also is seeing increased momentum in manufacturing, and the dawning of an entirely new industrial and logistics ecosystem. The country has four free trade zones, but the nominal land costs and government support amount to the country nearly being one big free zone already. Since 2017, cor...porate profit tax on reinvested profit is 0% and social security contribution is only 2%. Georgia’s stripped-down and streamlined tax scheme has produced the third-lowest overall tax rates in the world. The country’s broadband network is already 70% deployed, and expanding higher education resources include the new Kutaisi International University, set to become the hub of STEM fields in Georgia and the region overall. "Georgia is a hidden jewel. We are excited to continue to invest there because it continues to pay off in a lot of ways.

She had the chess world in something of a checkmate, as one Daily Mirror article put it
