The Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili and Odile Renaud-Basso, the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, on Wednesday discussed the key directions of successful cooperation and prospects of future collaboration at the meeting held within the scope of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The two parties also reviewed the projects implemented with support from the EBRD both in the public and private sectors. Irakli Gharibashvili thanked Renaud-Basso for her support and highlighted the assistance of EBRD in financing strategic directions, allowing the country to carry out important reforms.
The historic decision of the European Council to grant Georgia the European Union membership candidate status in December 2023 was also pointed out by the officials, with the PM discussing the country’s future plans on the path of European integration, the Government Administration said.
Gharibashvili briefed the EBRD President on the “positive trends” in Georgia's economy and emphasized that despite the difficult situation in the Black Sea region and worldwide, the country maintained steady economic growth rates.
The conversation concerned the large infrastructural projects actively pursued by the Government's economic team.
The Head of Government also highlighted the EBRD’s diversified portfolio in Georgia, making up about €5 billion in 289 projects.
