Bidzina Ivanishvili: by 2029, Georgia will have a larger economy in terms of purchasing power parity than 6 EU member states

By 2029, Georgia will have a larger economy in terms of purchasing power parity than 6 EU member states, Bidzina Ivanishvili, Honorary Chairman of "Georgian Dream", said during a speech in Zugdidi, within the framework of the election campaign.

Ivanishvili focused on several international rankings, in which Georgia is the unconditional leader, and introduced the public to the international confirmation of Georgia's success.

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. With 11 years of progress since the "Georgian Dream" came, Georgia is in first place in the world.

Georgia ranks among the top ten in Europe for freedom from government attacks on judicial justice. Also, a few days ago, the report of one of the French organizations IPSOS regarding the Georgian court was published. According to the research, 61% of the population of Georgia think that judges are independent from the government. The observed result is higher than the average trust of courts in European countries, which is about 55%. It must be emphasized that trust in the court in Georgian society is higher than the European average.

In the open budget index, Georgia still ranks first among the 125 countries in the world among completely transparent countries. But you remember very well that the previous government looked at the country's budget as its own pocket. Their leader, Mikheil Saakashvili, squandered more than 8 million GEL to satisfy his own whims, and this criminal case is now being considered in the Georgian court, which received the highest rating from "Ipsos".

With the 11-year progress of freedom from physical violence by the authorities, Georgia ranks third in the world.

With the 11-year progress of civil freedom, Georgia ranks ninth in the world, third on the Eurasian continent, and first in Europe.

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. In the 12 years since "Georgian Dream" came, we are begging all the countries of the world and it is in the top five in terms of reducing poverty," said Bidzina Ivanishvili.

He also noted that the above is a very small list of the progress that the government has achieved by standing by the Georgian people.

"Precisely because "Georgian Dream" is taking the right path in all directions, the future forecast about Georgia published by the International Monetary Fund is also impressive. The authoritative institution published a long-term forecast of the world economy for the period up to 2030, and Georgia was among the top three in the world in three directions of the ten-year growth forecast.

According to the ten-year rate of growth of the real gross domestic product per capita, Georgia will take a place in the top three in the world by 2029, and it is the unconditional leader of growth in Europe - Georgia is the unconditional leader in Europe in terms of economic growth rates until 2029, it is already the second best in terms of economic growth rates until 2029. Georgia's gross domestic product in US dollars per capita will exceed 12,900 US dollars by 2029. If the forecasted growth rate is maintained, if we add another year, because the IMF conducted a study until 2029, it will exceed 14 thousand US dollars in 2030 and will most likely become a country with a high-income status according to the World Bank's gradation. This means that Georgia will be included in the list of rich countries and we will not enter Europe on one leg and hand in hand, but we will enter proud and proud and become a member of the most successful united family. By 2029, Georgia will have a larger economy in terms of purchasing power parity than 6 EU member states," said Bidzina Ivanishvili.

Michał Kobosko - we hope that your government eventually would either choose the European way, the democratic way or would resign seeing the number, the size and scale of the citizens' protests
