At the meeting, Davitashvili highlighted that Georgia has been working on the “improvement” of the normative base for the development of innovative technologies in the county, including the creation of innovative financial products. He also noted that the Economy Ministry welcomed the entry of innovative businesses to Georgia and their establishment in the local market, as well as the development of technologies, which would enable Georgian citizens to carry out various financial operations “easily, safely and at a lower cost”.
