According to the press service of the Government Administration, the respective agreement was signed between the Georgian government and Rothschild & Co during the visit of Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili to Brussels.

The delegation, led by the company's Managing Director, Arielle Malard de Rothschil, was met by the head of government at the Government Administration today.

The meeting focused on the country’s transformation into the region’s financial centre, a move poised to encourage investment inflows, new jobs, and sharing modern financial and technological innovations. The discussion also involved the creation of special international financial zones in Tbilisi and Gonio.

According to Irakli Gharibashvili, the Georgian government’s priority is to ensure that a significant portion of the personnel of international companies operating in the financial zones consists of Georgian citizens, and this will offer them a unique opportunity for professional and career development.

The meeting reiterated the issue of developing Georgia’s beneficial investment environment and capital market as one of the key directions of the country’s economic policy.

Irakli Gharibashvili assured the Rothschild & Co-Managing Director of the government’s full support so that work on the strategy may prove as effective as possible, and so that concrete steps may be taken in near future toward attracting foreign financial resources and international financial companies into Georgia.
