You say that you have a higher per capita economy than Armenia and Azerbaijan, then why is there more unemployment in our country? what is happening?! - Maybe the money from the budget goes to the elite and not to the people?! - The Chairman of "Strategy Agmashenebeli" Giorgi Vashadze addressed this question to the Minister of Finance Lasha Khutsishvili, who is being listened to in the "Minister's Hour" format in the Parliament.

According to Vashadze, water is cheaper in EU countries and all products are cheaper in neighboring countries than in Georgia.

"I have a question for you, why is a bottle of water cheaper in EU countries than in Georgia?" Why are all products cheaper in our neighboring countries than in Georgia? For example, why is one kg of butter cheaper in Turkey? The price there is about 20 GEL, and why does it cost 30 GEL in Georgia? Why do 15 eggs cost 4 and a half GEL there and 10 eggs - 5.50- 5.70 GEL in Georgia? There is water everywhere in Georgia, why are there queues at the border of Sarfi, who go to Turkey to buy products and then bring them to their families? Why is it happening, what is the fault that it is so expensive in the country? If you are talking about these numbers, are they for people?!

Why is unemployment in Georgia at the highest level in the entire region? The level of unemployment is lower in Armenia and Azerbaijan, I won't say anything about Turkey - it is lower, unemployment is lower in Russia, the unemployment rate is lower everywhere in the Black Sea region. I ask you, why is there such an unemployment rate in Georgia? Are you saying that you have a higher per capita economy than Armenia, we have a higher economy than Azerbaijan? Then why do we have more unemployment. Answer this question because you are the main financier in this country. What is happening, maybe the money from the budget goes to the elite and not to the people, isn't that the reason?!'' Vashadze said.
