Minister of Finance: We raised a total of 2.1 billion USD in terms of international aid

We raised a total of 2.1 billion USD in terms of international aid, - said the Minister of Finance, Lasha Khutsishvili, while speaking about the results of the negotiations with donors at the Parliament in the format of "Minister Hour".

As the Minister of Finance noted, funds were mobilized from international partners in a short time.

"I want to emphasize the fact that we met the pandemic with quite high buffers, which made it much easier for us to respond. We had a very successful program with the International Monetary Fund. The country had gained high trust in international financial institutions and we had a fairly large package of reforms. These were all major determinants of our success with donors. With the support of international financial institutions, it has become possible to fully fund pandemic response measures and maintain macroeconomic stability", - said Lasha Khutsishvili.
