The Georgian government will subsidise mortgage loans for families with newborn children and multi-child families starting September 1, Economy Minister Natia Turnava announced earlier today.
Eligible families will have 12 months starting September 1 to apply for loans.
The terms of the state subsidy are:
- The state will offer a loan subsidy to families who will have a child from September 1 with a maximum loan amount of 200,000 GEL (about $64,012 /€53,801).
- The state will subsidise six per cent of the loan if the newborn is a first or second child.
- The state will subsidise about eight per cent of the loan if the newborn is a third or fourth child.
- The state will subsidise about four per cent of the loan for families who have three or more children (without having a newborn child).
- The loan interest will be repaid within five years.
Minister Turnava noted that the Georgian government hopes that ‘it will greatly contribute to the well-being of families.’
In each such family, a newborn child will bring not only great joy but also specific practical benefits,” stated Turnava.
Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili also spoke about the assistance programme for families earlier today and noted that ‘through [this programme] it will be possible [for families] to buy an apartment or a private house.’
The Georgian government will subsidise the 2021 grape harvest due to an excess grape yield this season and the post-pandemic situation in order to financially support farmers, announced Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili earlier today. Garibashvili stated that the price of one kilo of the Rkatsiteli wine variety will not be less than 90 tetri, noting that ‘companies will receive an additional 35 tetri from the state.’
What does it include?
Georgian Economy Minister Natia Turnava has presented a 10-year economic development strategy which covers 12 major areas, ranging from small business empowerment, investment attraction, to specific development policies and quantitative indicators in each key area that the country should achieve by 2025 and 2030.
The government of Georgia is going to present a 10-year development plan in May, which will convey the government’s vision of how to emerge from the coronavirus crisis, announces Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.
About 32 billion GEL (approximately $10.29bln/€8.73bln) will be spent on infrastructure and regional development in Georgia over the next 10 years, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has announced at the presentation of the 10-year development plan of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of Georgia.
Four new programmes have been added to Georgia's export promotion agency Enterprise Georgia today. The programmes will aim to help families with newborns purchase new apartments, increase the financial availability of business loans for the maximum number of business entities, increase the country's export potential and develop agro- and eco-tourism facilities in the Georgian regions.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Friday said “thousands” of the country’s citizens had benefited from budget-funded social and medical programmes, and pledged several of the packages would be extended.
