"I can’t agree that the IMF new program is delayed," – so responded Deputy Minister of Finance Mirza Gelashvili to a journalist’s question.
"I can’t agree that the new program is delayed. We already had preliminary talks and the visit of the first mission is scheduled for the second half of this month. We will agree on the main directions and benchmarks of the program," - said the Deputy Minister.
The President of the National Bank made a statement a few weeks ago about the launch of a new program of the IMF. Koba Gvenetadze says that against the background of political tensions in the country, the IMF program is needed.
The program with the International Monetary Fund was completed in early 2021.
