Georgia is located at the crossroads between Europe and Central Asia and has experienced economic growth over the past twelve years. In June 2014, Georgia signed an Association Agreement (AA) and Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with the European Union. Through reduced tariffs and the removal of technical barriers to entry, the DCFTA gives Georgian products access to over 500 million people in the EU. Reciprocally, products from the EU now enjoy easier access to the Georgian market. Following the launch of the U.S.-Georgia Strategic Partnership Commission (SPC) in 2009, the U.S. Department of State holds regular meetings with its Georgian counterparts across various working groups. One of these dialogues is the Economic, Energy, and Trade Working Group which aims to coordinate Georgia’s strategy for development in these areas and to explore ways to expand bilateral economic cooperation.

The definition of foreign official institutions is: "FOREIGN OFFICIAL INSTITUTIONS (FOI) include the following: 1. Treasuries, including ministries of finance, or corresponding departments of national governments; central banks, including all departments thereof; stabilization funds, including official exchange control offices or other government exchange authorities; and diplomatic and consular establishments and other departments and agencies of national governments. 2. International and regional organizations. 3.

Although the attached list includes the major foreign official institutions which have come to the attention of the Federal Reserve Banks and the Department of the Treasury, it does not purport to be exhaustive. Whenever a question arises whether or not an institution should, in accordance with the instructions on the TIC forms, be classified as official, the Federal Reserve Bank with which you file reports should be consulted. It should be noted that the list does not in every case include all alternative names applying to the same institution.

All rights reserved. Basis of Preparation This report summarizes and analyzes the financial results of the 17 commercial banks of Georgia for the 3rd quarter of 2016, as well as provides some insights into the recent developments in the sector. The financial information has been obtained from the published interim reports for the 3rd quarter of 2016. The banks are listed in the alphabetical order throughout the publication. We have used simple headline numbers in our analysis unless stated otherwise; each bank has its own way of reporting performance and this has proved to be the most consistent method of presenting their results. All the key ratios are calculated based on the obtained data unless stated otherwise. The general information, such as the number of branches, employee headcount, etc, are mainly taken from the Notes to the Financial Statements prepared by the banks. The official websites of the banks serve as the only alternative source, however they are not always properly updated. Due to this, the figures presented may not necessarily be as of 30th September 2016.
