“Positive expectations in business have increased radically,” stated Nina Kobakhidze, Chairwoman of the BAG Healthcare Committee, commenting on business sentiment following the recent meeting between business representatives and Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
Nina Kobakhidze, who also serves as Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of Geo Hospitals and the insurance company Global Benefits Georgia, noted that the Georgian Business Association (BAG) has established a foundation for measuring business sentiment through the BAG index.
“Positive expectations in business have increased radically. A very important issue raised during the meeting concerned the GEL exchange rate. Businesses have observed that the exchange rate has been stable and do not anticipate major changes, which is crucial for meeting economic targets. The BAG index accurately reflects business expectations,” Kobakhidze said.
When asked about challenges facing business, she highlighted several key concerns. During discussions with government representatives, questions were raised regarding political and electoral processes, as well as the state’s readiness to manage these processes. International perceptions and support for investments, both local and foreign, were also emphasized as critical for maintaining a healthy investment environment.
“Currently, the most active sectors for investment in Georgia are construction, energy, healthcare, and finance. We discussed these areas extensively during the meeting, ensuring that business initiatives are heard and supported,” she added.
