Developing Georgia’s regions by creating jobs, revitalising the economy and offering more support to locals are some of the goals of the country’s new Regional Development Plan, says Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.

At today’s Government meeting, Garibashvili said the Government's economic team was "actively working” on the Regional Development Plan, which will be introduced to society in March 2015.

"We’ll begin the presentation of the regional development plan from March. We are going to subsidise many projects in the regions, which will lead to regional development, economic revitalisation and job creation,” Garibashvili said.

"We will work closely with the private sector and I expect we will cooperate intensively in this direction. We have learnt about each region in detail and described all of the resources and potential of the regions,” he said.

"The state program ‘Produce in Georgia’ will be activated in 2015 in order to develop production and create as many jobs as possible,” the PM concluded.
