The main goal of the Georgian government is to maintain peace, ensure stability and contribute to economic growth, said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at the Baku Economic Forum of the United Nations Special Program for the Economies of Central Asia (SPECA).

As the PM noted, despite the instability and security challenges in the region and the world, the Georgian government managed to “reach the targets” with its pragmatic and rational foreign and correct economic policies.

Irakli Garibashvili stressed that the Georgian economy has grown by 10% in the last few years.

“This trend is kept this year. We have 7% growth in this period, inflation is less than 1%. We expect that the GPB per capita will be over USD 8,000 at the end of the year. I would also like to underline that our country’s international reserves in July of 2023 reached a historic maximum. Unemployment and poverty rates significantly lowered,” he said.
