Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told Parliament that personnel and institutional reforms completed a year ago marked a “new phase” in Georgia’s governance system, significantly improving efficiency and cost management across state structures. He presented the annual report on the government programme, covering the second half of last year and the first half of this year.
Kobakhidze highlighted the creation of the Efficiency Department, which he said played a key role in reviewing state programmes and procurement processes worth GEL 115 million. According to him, these reviews resulted in over GEL 67 million in savings, which will be redirected toward development priorities.
He added that in 2026, the department delivered GEL 67 million in direct savings, while an additional GEL 34 million was saved through monitoring-adjusted tenders, bringing total savings to GEL 101 million. He described this as evidence of a “qualitative transformation” in public administration.
The Prime Minister also noted that the introduction of an electronic market research model has increased transparency in procurement procedures. He said the reforms demonstrate a broader shift in how the government approaches spending and resource management.
