Georgia's economic growth in 2021 - 2026 will be the highest in the region and among European countries, International Monetary Fund predicted in the World Economic Outlook report, Trend reports via Georgian media.
The IMF forecast once again confirmed that high economic growth is expected in Georgia, Natia Turnava, Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, said.
IMF’s statement, as from one of the Georgian main partners, on the economic growth of the country, is very important, she said.
