Acting President of the National Bank of Georgia, Natia Turnava and Vice-President, Papuna Lezhava, are participating in the conference "Changes in the geopolitical landscape - economic consequences in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe" organized by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt.
The conference aims to discuss the economic and financial issues in the region. It should be noted that the conference is being attended for the first time this year not only by representatives of the EU member states, but also of central banks of countries with potential candidate status.
Within the framework of the conference, Natia Turnava spoke at length about the challenges that the whole world is facing. She focused on the consistent steps of the National Bank of Georgia, which contributes to ensuring the stability of the financial system and the sustainability of the country's financial sector.
Natia Turnava and Papuna Lezhava held working meetings with the European Central Bank officials. The Acting President of the NBG drew attention to the importance of Georgia joining the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).
"Georgia aspires to join the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). We attach great importance to this initiative, as we believe it will bring tangible results to financial service users. For this purpose, Georgia accelerated the legislative procedures and made it compatible with the EU legislation. In particular, we brought our laws closer to the directives and regulations of the European Union, which is a necessary prerequisite for joining SEPA," said Natia Turnava.
In addition, working meetings with the representatives of Deutsche Bank, "Procredit Holding" and "Finance in Motion" are planned as part of the visit.
