At the invitation of Bank of America, Governor of the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) Natia Turnava and Minister of Finance Lasha Khutsishvili participated in the London CEEMEA Small Talks conference. The event brought together representatives of approximately 15 international investment banks.

During meetings with investors, Governor Turnava discussed Georgia's current economic trends, macroeconomic stability, inflation dynamics, and the strategic priorities of the NBG's monetary policy. The discussions highlighted the country's economic resilience, the strength of the financial sector, the accumulation of international reserves, and the key factors supporting the stable development of the Georgian economy.

The discussions also covered Georgia's economic growth outlook, regional challenges, and the continued interest of international investors and partners in the country's financial sector.

It was emphasized that despite global headwinds and heightened market uncertainty, Georgia's economy and financial system remain stable. The National Bank of Georgia continues to implement policies aimed at preserving the resilience of the financial sector.

"The Georgian economy is distinguished by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, while our financial sector remains sound and resilient," stated Natia Turnava. "The primary mandate of the NBG is to ensure price stability, and we remain committed to a prudent and consistent policy approach to achieving this objective. This remains a key prerequisite for sustainable economic growth, financial stability, and long-term investor confidence."

As part of the working visit to London, the NBG Governor also met with representatives of major credit rating agencies, including Moody's and S&P Global Ratings, to discuss issues related to Georgia's sovereign credit ratings.
