“The government will review scope for expanded support for war veterans ahead of the final 2027 budget submission,” Finance Minister Lasha Khutsishvili told parliament today.
Addressing MPs during the presentation of the draft 2027 state budget, Khutsishvili reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to veterans while acknowledging current benefit levels are modest.
“I wish to express my profound respect for our war veterans; their contribution to maintaining Georgia’s territorial integrity is truly priceless. We will evaluate what additional scope exists before our final budget submission. I agree that the GEL 100 monthly allowance is indeed small, though for the sake of objectivity, veterans also benefit from income tax relief worth up to GEL 600,” Khutsishvili stated.
“We will continue working on this issue. While fiscal constraints exist, I believe through joint efforts with parliament we can deliver greater assistance to our veterans in the upcoming period, encompassing both financial allowances and non-monetary benefits,” the Finance Minister added.
