Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia said in his annual report to parliament that Georgia had positive features of macro economy in early 2020 but the global coronavirus pandemic has changed the situation.
Our main goal today is to defeat the global pandemic [and] deal with the global economic crisis, by turning this global crisis into an opportunity for our economy”, PM Gakharia said.
This, Gakharia said, will help the country get 'more prepared and effective' in global competition in the post-crisis period.

Hailing Georgia’s healthcare system in the fight against coronavirus, Giorgi Gakharia noted that every individual who has been infected with the COVID-19 had been hospitalised, while a number of European countries have failed to do so.
Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Gakharia has revealed plans to provide round-the-clock water supply to 300,000 citizens lacking proper water infrastructure across the country, with the governmental effort set to bring the supply to them by the end of the year.
Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration continues, is actively deepening and fundamentally determines the future of the country, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia stated while presenting his annual report to members of parliament earlier today.
Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia has come to parliament for the third time in a month to present an annual report, stating that Russia is a key challenge for Georgian security and is responsible for all incidents of human rights violations in the Georgian occupied regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali. He said that Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration is in progress and the country’s final goal is NATO membership.
