Earlier on Friday, the Georgian ambassador to the United States had said that the Department of State’s 2022 investment climate statements are obvious and emphasises the remarkable achievements of their country. Which is endorsed by the data collected from many international rated organisations in almost every field of expertise.
The National Bank of Georgia and other Georgian financial institutions were acting in complete accordance with the economic sanctions imposed by the US and others on Russia because it invaded Ukraine, according to the 2022 Investment Climate Statements published by the United States Department of State on Thursday.
Zalkaliani said that expropriation disputes in Georgia are very uncommon, however, under the last government, some cases of property transfers were reported that lacked transparency and were implemented under coercion. The statement highlights the progress made by the government in recent years in terms of business freedom.
