On June 16, the EU-Georgia Business Council organized a meeting with the Vice Prime Minister of Georgia, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Levan Davitashvili.

The meeting was attended by representatives of more than 40 business companies. The Minister briefed them on the priorities of Georgia’s economic policy, the challenges facing the country and the ways to solve them, as well as current and future reforms, and the country’s economic trends.

According to the Vice Prime Minister, EUGBC is closely cooperating with the government on the path of Georgia’s European integration and promotes the entry of Georgian business into the European market.

“It is especially important for us to effectively address the issues related to the EU Association Agenda so that Georgian businesses can actually reap the benefits of Georgia’s integration into the EU,” Levan Davitashvili said.

The Vice-Premier highlighted the volume of foreign direct investment in the first quarter of 2022, which is 4 times higher than the same period last year, and no less important, the EU’s share of total foreign direct investment was almost half – 48.7%.

During the event, the Minister was briefed on the Azerbaijan-Georgia Business Forum to be organized  by the EU-Georgia Business Council in Baku on June 29, as well as the business conference scheduled for this year in the Netherlands.
