- Details
The Investor Council (IC), coordinated by the EBRD, has been established in 2015 to provide a dialog platform between Georgia’s major business associations and government. Co-chaired by Georgia’s PM Giorgi Kvirikashvili and EBRD Director for the South Caucasus, Belarus and Moldova, Bruno Balvanera, IC’s February 17 meeting focused on three key issues:
- mechanisms for (sufficiently early) public disclosure and discussion of draft legislation;
- improvements in the tax administration system (e.g. the possibility to limit the Georgian Revenue Service’s ability to freeze business assets and accounts) and the impending introduction of the so-called Estonian model of corporate taxation;
- steps to increase the attractiveness of investing in Georgia (e.g. creating an effective system for investor after-care).
