The National Bank of Georgia (NBG) used an international financial technology conference it organised to position fintech as a strategic priority and to highlight that it has created a transparent and flexible regulatory framework tailored to fintech, aimed at supporting innovation and diversification in financial services. Governor Natia Turnava pointed to the NBG’s Fintech Development Strategy, developed with support from the World Bank, as the central vehicle for developing Georgia’s fintech ecosystem. The conference was framed as a public-private platform to strengthen cooperation on both shaping the strategy and supporting its implementation, and brought together senior government officials alongside representatives from the financial sector, government institutions, and international organisations.
