TANAP will increase economic development in Georgia

Caspian Energy (CE): Mr. Prime Minister, one of the points of your program was the creation of new jobs, development of the education system, entrepreneurial initiative and European integration of Georgia's economy. Which projects will the Government of Georgia rely on in the first place? The cooperation with which countries will be prioritised?

Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia: The Georgian Government sets the achievement of long term economic growth as a central priority.  The private sector, as you know, is the main driving force for the economic development of any country. A strong and competitive private sector not only guarantees the economic strength of the country and creation of new jobs, but also establishes a solid basis for better positioning of the country worldwide. Therefore, the Georgian Government will prioritize the creation of a strong private sector. All the initiatives in our plan serve that very purpose, with tax reform, improvement of public services offered to the private sector and more transparency in the legislative process being among the first. As for European integration, this is of course the ongoing number one priority for the Georgian Government.
