Gov't Administration Head: Regional peace boosts credibility and economic growth
Georgia has recorded strong economic performance, with an average growth rate of 9.3% over the past four years — the highest in Europe, Head of the Government Administration Levan Zhorzholiani said at a government experience-sharing forum held as part of the 2026 World Government Summit.
According to Zhorzholiani, geopolitical uncertainty makes it especially important to focus on public well-being and effective governance.
“In conditions of global uncertainty, many developments are difficult to predict. One of the decisive factors is investing in people and ensuring that government agencies function properly, with accountability, transparency and measurable results. This is how economic growth and citizens’ well-being are secured,” he said.
Zhorzholiani stressed that resilience and social stability must be government priorities, particularly for a small country facing regional challenges.
“If you want to overcome these challenges, you must have a clear and understandable plan and policy that guides action in uncertain global conditions. Our concept is primarily based on peace — peace brings stability, stability creates credibility, and credibility leads to economic growth, which is essential for the well-being of the population,” he added.
