Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, theater and film university students held a rally demanding new elections in front of the Georgian Public Broadcasting building in Tbilisi, Georgia. Protesters blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue, but the demonstration was classified as peaceful, with current direct supply-chain risk levels remaining low.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Traffic blockage on Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi may cause temporary delays in urban logistics movement
• Impact on Tbilisi International Airport, a major transportation hub in Georgia, or connections to major highways remains limited
• While Georgia is positioned on energy and cargo transport routes between Central Asia and Europe, the current scale of protests poses no substantial disruption to international logistics
• Minimal immediate impact on port and airport accessibility for Georgia's major exports such as wine and nuts

3) Watch points

• Whether protests expand and intensity of government response - potential for increased impact on logistics infrastructure if developments escalate into large-scale political instability
• Need to monitor potential spread of protests to major logistics hubs including Batumi Port and Poti Port
