Most Signed Free Trade Agreements by Country

2026-04-21

In the era of globalization, a country's economic strength and influence are often measured not only by its domestic resources and the size of its economy, but also by how open the global market is to it.

In this direction, a free trade agreement (FTA) is a key instrument of modern economic diplomacy, allowing countries involved in the deal to eliminate customs tariffs, reduce bureaucratic barriers, and open the way for their businesses to new markets.

The ranking below reflects the states that use this instrument most effectively and lead in the number of FTAs:

1. European Union

Number of partners: 78

2. United Kingdom

Number of partners: 70

3. Chile

Number of partners: 65

4. Singapore

Number of partners: 61

5. South Korea

Number of partners: 59

For comparison, Georgia has free trade agreements with 46 countries and one special administrative region, Hong Kong. It is worth noting that almost half of these agreements are with EU member states; 9 agreements are signed with CIS countries; we also have an FTA with China, which is the largest manufacturing country on the planet.
