The Meeting of the Government of Georgia was held on 30 July 2008. The agenda of the Meeting consisted of 45 items.
At the commencement of the Meeting, Prime Minister of Georgia Vladimer Gurgenidze informed the audience that that day the Government would start consideration of the 50-Month Government Action Plan and the consideration would continue for about one week. In that period, the Government members would present their comments and opinions that would be harmonized and by the second half of August the final version of the Action Plan would be submitted to the President of Georgia.
The Prime Minister of Georgia informed the audience: in July, together with the heads of the Ministry of Finance, I was on a visit to London, Boston and New-York where we had meetings with large investors. We met approximately the representatives of 27 large investment funds. It should be mentioned that they are pretty much aware of what's going on here. At the same time, they are very appreciative of our economic performance in the first quarter and of the growth (9,3%) that we had. They appreciate the fact that unlike our neighbours we were able to make a breakthrough in inflation and that our current inflation rate is the lowest in the region. The fact that despite the heavy political agenda that Georgia had in the first half of this year, the country remains committed to the liberal reforms is also much appreciated.
