ISET Professor Norberto Pignatti was invited by the Leibnitz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies in Regensburg to present his paper, ‘Job market outcomes of IDPs: the case of Georgia’.

The presentation took place on Tuesday, November 14.

The Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (Leibniz-Institut für Ost- und Südosteuropaforschung – IOS) is one of the largest and longest-established institutions of its kind in Germany. The IOS is organized as a non-university research institution. It brings historical, economic and other social science expertise to bear on interdisciplinary research fields that are oriented towards transnational and comparative perspectives. The focus lies especially on Southeast Europe and the territory of the former Soviet Union.

On Friday, November 10, the National Bank of Georgia held a meeting with second-year students of ISET’s MA Programme. During the meeting, the students were introduced to the structure of the National Bank, its main objectives and responsibilities.

The head of the Department of Financial Stability, Zviad Zedginidze, explained the main duties of the National Bank and the ways in which it functions. Mr. Zedginidze talked about the necessity of communication and transparency in the economic policy of the Bank, and its efforts to raise public awareness of its activities in order to potentially minimize welfare costs. Mr. Zedgindize mentioned the importance of using advanced analytical methods in practical work, which the Bank believes will improve its standing amongst the public.
