Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili commented on the recent statement by the Chair of the Constitutional Court. The Prime Minister, according to his statement to the press, had a phone conversation with Giorgi Papuashvili whom he urged to submit all information in his possession to the Office of the Chief Prosecutor.
"I will abstain from political assessment. I will only say that, in just an hour after this statement, I contacted Giorgi Papuashvili and suggested he provide all information in his possession to the Office of the Chief Prosecutor as soon as possible. I also spoke with the Chief Prosecutor, and they are ready to take a statement. It would be prudent for everyone with any grievances involving this matter to turn to the Prosecutor's Office," Giorgi Kvirikashvili stated.
In his conversation with the press, Prime Minister also commented on the statement of the President of the National Bank and indicated that he shares Koba Gvenetadze's view concerning dedolarization.
"I agree with the statement of Koba Gvenetadze concerning the fact that dedolarization has no alternative - this will ultimately lead to the increasing confidence in the national currency. Multidimensional steps shall be taken. For this purpose, bonds denominated in national currency are emitted in collaboration with the international financial institutions. Furthermore, planned long-term economic programs are aimed at improvement of the country's balance of payment. This will limit country's dependence solely upon money transfers and articles that may be vulnerable during economic crisis. Hence, through long-term and complex measures we will attain strengthening durable confidence in national currency. Pension reform that is scheduled in 2017 will further assist this process," - Prime Minister stated.
