  • GEORGIA Sub-Regional Innovation Policy Outlook 2020: Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus
    GEORGIA Sub-regional Innovation Policy Outlook 2020: Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus Chapter I ECONOMIC OVERVIEW General overview Georgia is a small, upper-middle-income country in the South Caucasus, connecting Europe to the Middle East and Central Asia. Since independence in 1991, the ensuing civil war and territorial disputes have made the transition to a market economy particularly challenging. Even so, Georgia is now one of the most open and easiest places to do business in the sub-region, with sustained albeit volatile growth. To continue to sustain growth and benefit from its manifold opportunities, however, Georgia needs to make better and systematic use of its potential, moving from a model of filling essential gaps to one based on broader experimentation with new and better ideas, business models, technology and governance arrangements. Reform process The radical improvement in Georgia stems from a series of far-reaching reforms. Following the Rose Revolution in 2003, structural changes in the institutional and legislative frameworks radically reduced petty corruption and improved the efficiency of government. Trade liberalization, including a range of free trade agreements, secured access to a diverse set of markets. Reforms of public financial management are under way, including the recently developed fiscal framework, changes in civil service pay and a transition to compulsory savings for retirement. As a result, Georgia has moved up quickly in the Ease of Doing Business ranking of the World Bank (2020a), reaching seventh place globally for regulatory performance. Although several efforts are under way, such as more investment into infrastructure, education and administration, further reforms are needed to restructure, diversify and increase the productivity of the economy.
