TBILISI, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Georgia's economy continues to grow steadily despite global challenges, delivering stronger-than-expected results, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said here on Friday.
Georgia's average real gross domestic product (GDP) growth stood at 9.3 percent over the 2021-2025 period, Kobakhidze told the 51st Banking Association for Central and Eastern Europe International Conference in Tbilisi.
Kobakhidze also pointed to the appreciation of the Georgian currency, the lari, and growing public confidence as factors underpinning financial sector stability.
On capital market development, the prime minister said interest in government and corporate bonds is rising, contributing to the diversification of funding sources. "Together, these efforts are building a more dynamic, competitive and forward-looking financial ecosystem and creating new opportunities for sustainable investment growth," he said.
The conference brought together representatives of the Georgian government and the international and regional financial sectors, with delegates from around 30 countries and approximately 100 institutions present. ■
