Georgia’s Central Bank chief discusses regional cooperation in Washington talks

The Governor of Georgia’s Central Bank, Natia Turnava, has summarised the results of her visit to Washington, where she discussed regional cooperation issues with the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and major investors.

Turnava said that all meetings focused on the strong fundamentals of Georgia’s economy and its resilience, Caliber.Az reports, citing Georgian media.

According to her, there were talks about the role of the Middle Corridor, which has become particularly relevant after the conflict with Iran.

“It is pleasing that we were assessed as one of the most stable and attractive countries in the region, with transparency and high-quality infrastructure capable of handling additional capacity,” she said.

Finance Minister Lasha Khutsishvili added that the IMF will also participate in planning and implementing reforms of Georgia’s state-owned companies.
