We have significantly reduced poverty, although we understand that we must continue to work in this direction even more actively, so that together with the occupation, our main challenge - poverty can be overcome forever! - Honorary chairman of "Georgian Dream", Bidzina Ivanishvili, announced this at an event held in Batumi within the framework of the election campaign.

As he noted, since October 1, 2012, the government of "Georgian Dream" has fundamentally improved the situation in all areas, in all directions, as evidenced by international ratings.

"In general, on October 1, 2012, we not only defeated the authoritarian regime and regained the country, but since that day, the Georgian Dream government has principally improved the situation in all areas, in all directions!" The Prime Minister talked a lot about this. I wanted to remind you that the speech three days ago with the government was very impressive, and today they also told you very well how many achievements we have in all directions. But in addition to the premiership and domestic achievements that you can see, we may well see international rankings as well. If they don't believe us, especially our opponents - they look critically at everything, at least look at the international ratings and I'll give you some examples:

According to the 2024 Index of Freedom and Prosperity of the "Atlantic Council", Georgia ranks among the top five in the world with 10-year progress in prosperity, and ranks first in the world with 11-year progress.

In the open budget index, Georgia still ranks first among the 125 countries in the world among completely transparent countries. Do you remember that the leader of one party thought the budget was his own pocket and used it as if it were his own pocket, and today Georgia ranks first in terms of budget transparency, compared to 125 countries of the world

Georgia ranks among the top ten in Europe for freedom from government attacks on judicial justice. Do you remember how the court was held? - The influence of the government is so small today that Georgia is in the top ten in Europe.

With the 11-year progress of freedom from physical violence by the government, Georgia ranks third in the world - do you remember what was happening? Do you remember how they were abused, how they were killed in the street? Do you remember how they were abused? - Only Georgia had 3,000 probationers. Today, Georgia is in the third place in the world, as far as it does not do violence to its own population, and this is certainly a matter of pride.

With 11 years of progress in civil liberties, Georgia ranks ninth in the world, third on the Eurasian continent, and first in Europe. Free citizens create businesses, free citizens manage to bring success to the country, and look at what impressive achievements we have in this direction.

According to the World Bank, in 2024, the level of international poverty in Georgia will decrease to a new historical minimum, and with a 12-year improvement in the indicator, Georgia will be among the top five in the world. With the improvement of poverty, in 12 years, Georgia is among the top five in the world - let's not forget, people, that what should be done in 25 and 30 years cannot be done in 12 years, but in 12 years, we have really impressive achievements", said Bidzina Ivanishvili.
