Also, the importance of close cooperation between the NBG and the Bank of England was emphasized. The partners discussed the projects implemented with the support of the British Embassy, noting that the close cooperation will continue in the future.

"Great Britain is an important strategic partner of Georgia. We discussed joint projects at today's meeting. We have been cooperating with the Bank of England since 2008.

I hope that the close cooperation will continue in the future," Natia Turnava said.
