The Governance Sub-Index is based on a quantitative evaluation of government cohesion (public services, educational budget, military spending), infrastructure (investments, roads, transmission), business environment (ease of doing business, business registration, sector developments), corruption (corruption index, bribery prevalence, red tape), and financial stability (austerity, exposure to financial shocks, financial regulation).

Responding to the recently published research, the Head of the Government Administration Ilia Darchashvili noted that Georgia has once again shown concrete, tangible results on international indices and surveys.

Darchiashvili said that being among the World Bank members and the top 20 European countries, Georgia will further raise its status in the international arena.

Ilia Darchiashvili also said that such a position will help Georgia quickly recover its economy in post-pandemic conditions.
