Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth continues to be strong, but inflation has increased substantially. The structural agenda remains focused on further improving tax and customs administration, improving fiscal planning and public expenditure management, and strengthening financial markets. The main risks to the economic outlook stems from domestic and external political pressures. Despite these risks and the recent surge in inflation, the government’s strong track record and the commitment to take corrective measures, as needed, bode well for the successful implementation of the program.

This book was released on 2003-11-07 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Program of Georgia (EDPRP) is the first full poverty reduction strategy paper (PRSP) prepared by the government. The PRSP presents two macroeconomic scenarios, a realistic one and an optimistic one. The presentation of fiscal policy objectives in the EDPRP suffers from lack of specificity on the main components of future tax reform. IMF staff has advised strongly against the EDPRP proposal to set up a special Poverty Alleviation Fund within the regular state budget. The participation and communication program is thorough and detailed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The staff report for the Request for a Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility on Georgia focuses on economic developments and policies. The fiscal situation deteriorated sharply in 2003, especially because of a weakening in expenditure management and in tax enforcement. Policy discussions focused on strategies to address the challenges inherited from the previous administration and to reinvigorate the reform drive. Georgia’s vulnerability to exogenous shocks and lingering tensions between central and regional authorities will continue to pose downward risks.

Book excerpt: The Joint Staff Advisory Note (JSAN) on the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper Progress Report on Georgia evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the poverty reduction objectives and strategies.

Economic performance in recent years has been impressive, with the establishment of macroeconomic stability, a dramatic fiscal turnaround, and remarkable improvements in governance and the business environment. The original targets under the PRGF arrangement have been reached or exceeded. All quantitative performance criteria for the final review were met.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses key findings of the Fifth Review Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility for Georgia. Despite economic sanctions imposed by Russia in 2006, Georgia’s economic growth continues to be strong, and inflation has declined. Growth is expected to reach 9 percent in 2006 and to slow only moderately to 7–8 percent in 2007. Inflation was back into single digits by end-2006. The 2007 budget is an appropriate compromise between the country’s pressing spending needs and the goal of macroeconomic stability.

Book excerpt: This report presents a comprehensive analysis of poverty and its main determinants using the most recent 2007 Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS) data. It provides an in-depth analysis of rural poverty, the linkages between labor markets and poverty, the importance of social transfers for poverty alleviation, and the progress made since 2003 in the health and education sectors, and also presents some findings on incomes trends based on the Household Budget Survey from 2003 to 2006. The report also simulates possible poverty impacts from the dual shocks of the August 2008 conflict and the current global financial crisis. Main messages in the document are: (1) the available data indicate that living standards in Georgia have improved in many dimensions since 2003; (2) poverty in Georgia continues to be deeply entrenched in rural areas, accounting for 60 percent of the poor; (3) the performance of the labor markets has so far not contributed much to poverty reduction; (4) social assistance became an increasingly important lifeline for Georgia's poor; (5) the double shocks of the August 2008 conflict and the global financial crisis risk undermining the poverty reduction effort; and (6) the poverty reduction strategy of the government of Georgia should focus on: extending the coverage of the Targeted Social Assistance to reach more of the poor; promoting investments in infrastructure and creating opportunities for off-farm employment in rural areas; and continuing reforms in the health and education sectors to improve human capital, which is the prerequisite for sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction. The main findings state that since 2003, Georgia has implemented an impressive array of reforms. Unfortunately, the absence of comparable household surveys over time precludes a proper analysis of the impact of these reforms on growth and poverty reduction.
Download or read book Georgia written by Bloomsbury Publishing and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia emerged from the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991 with the promise of swift economic and democratic reform. But that promise remains unfulfilled. Economic collapse, secessionist challenges, civil war and the failure to escape the legacy of Soviet rule - culminating in the 2008 war with Russia - characterise a two-decade struggle to establish democratic institutions and consolidate statehood. Here, Stephen Jones critically analyses Georgia's recent political and economic development, illustrating what its 'transition' has meant, not just for the state, but for its citizens as well. An authoritative and commanding exploration of Georgia since independence, this is essential for those interested in the post-Soviet world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for FY19-FY22 sets out the World Bank Group's (WBG) proposals for supporting the Government of Georgia's vision of developing a market based economy while ensuring nationwide prosperity and strengthening its regional position. Building on the strong foundation put in place by the previous FY14 to FY17 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), this CPF will work to consolidate gains and move the economy toward addressing next generation development challenges for sustained and inclusive growth and poverty reduction. The CPF proposes a strategic shift in focus from an infrastructure heavy program to one that emphasizes expanding human capital. WBG interventions over the next four years will aim to reduce gaps in human endowments and create economic opportunities that will ensure inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The WBG will support Georgia in sustaining strong productivity led growth while maintaining a direct line of sight to the "Bottom 40" those Georgians whose annual household income falls into the bottom 40 percent of the country. To support the government in achieving the twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity, the CPF envisages support to Georgia across three focus group areas: (i) enhancing inclusive growth and competitiveness, (ii) investing in human capital, and (iii) building resilience. The CPF will pay special attention to vulnerable groups and lagging regions that have not benefited from the fruits of growth. Interventions will target special groups such as women, youth, and rural communities where most poor people live. Across the three focus areas, the CPF will rely on three engagement principles to guide the selection of interventions: (i) maximizing finance for development (MfD), which aims to leverage the private sector for growth and sustainable development; (ii) spatial equity, as a means to redress currently regional imbalances within the country; and (iii) innovation, given the rapid pace of technological changes and digitization and its effects on productivity and competitiveness. Lending commitments will evolve during the CPF as they have throughout the WBG's engagement with Georgia and the current portfolio of investments and advisory services and analytics (ASA) will serve as a solid base to enable the WBG to achieve the intended strategic shifts in this CPF.
