The meeting noted that despite the current “geopolitical shock”, the Georgian economy maintained “high rates” of economic growth, sustainability and macroeconomic stability.
Rigterink “positively assessed” the dynamics of cooperation between the bank and Georgia and noted the EBRD was “ready” to play an “important role” in the development of the country in the post-pandemic period.
