Zurab Lalazashvili, Managing Partner of BDO declares, that a decrease in income is already being recorded in various sectors due to the ongoing events in the country. As he stated in an interview with BMG, the decrease is especially noticeable in areas that do not produce primary consumption products or services.
"The decrease is especially noticeable in real estate sectors, as well as in other sectors, including trade and services... Decrease will become even more obvious in those sectors, which are not essential consumption. The decrease in tourism additionally affects the inflow of foreign currency, and if all this continues, this will inevitably lead to an economic and social crisis," Lalazashvili said.
According to him, the only way out of the current political crisis is to fulfill the demands set by the Freebusiness.ge signatory companies.
"All types of crises need to be de-escalated. When we joined Freebusiness.ge, we considered new elections as the only way to de-escalated the crisis. Until now, we have not heard any alternative opinion from anyone. Such meetings help to create the possibility of alternative opinions. However, my personal opinion remains that the only way to de-escalate this type of crisis is elections," says Lalazashvili.
