In 2024, we will host this large-scale and important meeting in Tbilisi. I hope that for that time, we will jointly succeed in overcoming the global pandemic and the economic crisis...

This support was vital to macroeconomic stability, minimizing economic damage, and maintaining jobs.", Khutsishvili said in his speech at the session.
He said that in the post-pandemic period, economic and structural reforms should be continued and strengthened to promote economic growth, ensuring that the foundations of the economy are strengthened and resilient to shock.
We must maintain a policy of promoting regional cooperation and integration. Georgia supports the free trade policy. More integration, openness and low barriers are key factors in the world economic architecture, and that is what we need to focus on", Khutsishvili said.
He also spoke about the role of the ADB in the private sector development process. Khutsishvili said that 'we need to strengthen the role of the private sector', because it is the driving force of the economy. He also said that the development of human capital is also important.
