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.

  • Rating Action: Moody's Takes Ratings Actions on 10 Banks in Croatia, Georgia, Hungary and Romania Following Update to Country Ceilings Methodology
    Rating Action: Moody's takes ratings actions on 10 banks in Croatia, Georgia, Hungary and Romania following update to country ceilings methodology 10 Dec 2020 London, 10 December 2020 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has today upgraded the FC deposit ratings of 10 banks across 4 countries: Croatia, Georgia, Hungary and Romania. The rating actions are driven by changes in the local currency (LC) and foreign currency (FC) country ceilings applied to the jurisdictions of the banks following the publication of Moody's updated Country Ceilings Methodology on 7 December 2020. This methodology is available at this link: https://www.moodys.com/research/--PBC_1225594 . Today's rating actions cover: (1) Raiffeisenbank Austria d.d., (2) JSC TBC Bank, (3) JSC Bank of Georgia, (4) Erste Bank Hungary Zrt., (5) Kereskedelmi & Hitel Bank Rt., (6) OTP Bank NyRt, (7) Raiffeisen Bank Zrt., (8) BRD - Groupe Societe Generale, (9) Banca Comerciala Romana S.A. and (10) Raiffeisen Bank SA. Please click on this link https://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBC_ARFTL436509 for the List of Affected Credit Ratings. This list is an integral part of this Press Release and identifies each affected issuer. RATINGS RATIONALE Today's rating actions on 10 banks in Croatia, Georgia, Hungary and Romania are driven by changes in country ceilings under Moody's updated country ceilings methodology. Country ceilings typically indicate the highest rating level that would generally be assigned to the financially strongest obligations of issuers domiciled in a country, absent exceptional considerations such as external support from outside the country. The updated ceilings methodology has unified deposit ceilings with the typically higher debt ceilings, whereby LC and FC country ceilings are no longer distinguished between deposit and debt ceilings.
