Mamuka Bakhtadze: We are the region’s leader, but that is not enough, because we must be among the world’s top five
2018-10-03 As Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze stated at today's meeting with the Business Association, we are the region's leader, but that is not enough, because we must be among the world's top five. According to the Prime Minister, yet another criteria used by the Government to assess one reform or another judges the extent to which it has helped the country become among the top five in all important rankings. "During out US visit, a very important study was published by the Fraser Institute, the Economic Freedom Index, a vitally important ranking to us. Georgia has advanced two points to be ranked 7th among 162 countries. However, I would like to inform you-and every relevant ministry has already been instructed-that gradually Georgia must be ranked among the top five in all important indexes," Mamuka Bakhtadze stated. "This year's budget is genuinely unprecedented in this regard, and the next year's draft budget includes some very ambitious figures. I am convinced that we will succeed in reaching these targets defined in the 2019 budget," Mamuka Bakhtadze emphasized.
