Georgian PM: State-owned assets should be involved in the economy as soon as possible

State-owned assets which are not fully involved in the Georgian economy should be involved in the economy as soon as possible in order to support the rapid economic growth of the country, said Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia at a presentation of 100 investment offers for businesses.

Gakharia said that the privatisation process of state-owned buildings supports strengthening the business sector and thus increases the economic growth of the country. 

The economic growth of Georgia completely depends on the private sector,” said Gakharia.

For us creating more new jobs is essential,” said Gakharia.
