The National Bank of Georgia’s Governor, Natia Turnava, opened the inaugural Tbilisi Finance Summit and used the address to frame Georgia’s financial sector as increasingly attractive to both regional and global investors, citing recent market entry by new groups. Turnava linked investor interest to Georgia’s macroeconomic conditions, pointing to nearly double-digit economic growth and relatively low inflation, and described the banking system as resilient, well-capitalized and profitable, with high-quality assets. She also noted that the financial industry has been a leading recipient of foreign direct investment relative to other sectors. The Summit is being held within the Silk Road Forum and is co-organized by the Global Finance and Technology Network.
