Georgian central bank shares monetary policy experience with Kazakh, Uzbek counterparts

The National Bank of Georgia on Monday hosted a working meeting with representatives of the national banks of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to share its monetary policy experience at the request of the International Monetary Fund.

Natia Turnava, the Acting Governor of the NBG, noted cooperation with the IMF “in any format” was important for the Bank, and that the workshops organised by the IMF’s Caucasus, Central Asia and Mongolia Regional Capacity Development Centre were “another indication” of the long-term partnership between the NBG and the IMF.

Central banks of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are also participating in these meetings, and I hope the knowledge and experience shared with each other will prove to be a considerable help in our monetary policy”, Turnava said.

The Bank official added she was “glad” the NBG was not only a beneficiary of technical assistance as part of the IMF project, but also provided assistance to other countries.
