ISET-PI collaborated with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on a three-day training workshop (2-4 September) to review the best international practices in measuring and monitoring the soundness of a country's financial sector. The event brought together NBG and GeoStat officials together with ISET researchers to facilitate improvements in the Georgian system of financial soundness indicators.
Financial soundness indicators (FSIs) are statistical measures compiled to monitor the health and soundness of financial institutions and markets, and/or their corporate and household counterparts. FSIs include both aggregated information on financial institutions and indicators that are representative of the markets in which financial institutions operate.
On June 13, 2013 Michael Fuenfzig presented a new study of the ISET Policy Institute, the “Report on Regional Disparities in Georgia”. The study was commissioned by the EU project “Support to Regional Policy Implementation in Georgia”. The ISET Policy Institute team has been intensively studying multiple dimensions of potential disparities between the regions of Georgia for two months. With the main regional disparities and data gaps identified, this report serves to lay the foundations for efficient regional policy formulation and implementation in Georgia.
