If you don’t have proper communication with the private sector … and if you don’t follow up with the private sector, you cannot be successful”, said Kumsishvili.

What we did in our country is we created the Investor’s Council [which includes many private-sector businesses and associations]. We have regular meetings quarterly and all business associations can put problems the private sector has on the table. I can advise such a platform to all governments as this platform is really very efficient”, he added.
