"We have a good result in terms of international ratings and it is good to move forward in this type of ratings, because ratings generate some interest and this is the interest we need to attract investment. Added to this are other international ratings. Of course, no one invests money in Georgia just because of the ratings, but these ratings have aroused some interest from investors. We are a small country and we need such results in order to pay attention and work on further investments" - Commented Giorgi Pertaia, President of the Georgian Chamber of Commerce, on the Trace International Corruption Perceptions Index, which ranks Georgia 28th in the world and 19th in Europe, As for the component of "Freedom from Corruption in Government" Georgia is ranked on the 1st place.
"I think it's a timely message, especially in the current context, when investors are making some changes due to the pandemic, thinking about certain shifts and reliable supply channels, as the pandemic disrupted many so-called reliable supply channels during the first wave".
"Corruption is everywhere, and here we are talking about comparisons between countries, and a Trace International study shows that Georgia has a good position in the world in terms of freedom from the risk of corruption. It is clear that the environment is politically hot and the opponents argue against it, but we must not forget that we are the first in the region in terms of investment environment and we must definitely use these results" - said Giorgi Pertaia, President of the Chamber of Commerce.
