Abstract

The issue of attracting investments is relevant for any level of the socio-economic system. In this regard, increasing investment attractiveness and managing this process itself are of utmost importance. The role of municipal formations is growing in the modern economy. This is due to their corporate nature and different resource potential, as well as increased competition. Implementing a flexible investment policy is of crucial importance. This will make it possible to attract foreign investments, stimulate the investment opportunities of existing economic entities, and utilize domestic investments.

The paper identifies difficulties related to investment attractiveness at the local level; discusses the investment opportunities of Georgian municipalities, also, elements of investment policy to increase investment attractiveness, taking into account the context of sustainable development.
