Georgian Finance Minister Ivane Machavariani resigned. In a Facebook post, Machavariani said that he planned to resign at the end of 2020.

According to Ivane Machavariani, he is proud of the participation in the negotiations with international partners to attract financial aid for Georgia amid the global Covid-19 pandemic. He said it was an honour for him to be a part of the Georgian Dream’s Cabinet.

Machavariani thanked the international partners for cooperation and his employees for their work.

“I wish success to the Prime Minister, members of the government and political union Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia in solving all challenges facing the country,” Machavariani wrote.
