The Governor of the National Bank of Georgia, Koba Gvenetadze, shared the experience in protecting the principles of rule of law in the financial sector of Georgia under the Association Agreement, with the conference participants.

"Legal certainty, which is the leading point of the rule of law, is a precondition for the proper functioning of the financial system. We have to mention the attitude of the Central Bank of Europe, which emphasizes the importance of legal certainty. It is a fundamental part of the rule of law, which guarantees people to plan their actions, foresee the expected legal results and set up reliable expectations based on the law- this is a prerequisite for the economic stability", - said Koba Gvenetadze.
