At the Executive Government Meeting on August 26, Irakli Kobakhidze, the Prime Minister of Georgia, highlighted the country's outstanding economic growth, noting that Georgia ranks first in economic growth indicators not only within the region but also among European countries.
Kobakhidze referred to recent data published by the National Statistics Office (GeoStat), which revealed that unemployment in Georgia has reached a historic low of 13.7 percent in the second quarter, a significant decrease from 16.7 percent in the same period last year. He emphasized that this reduction in unemployment, along with the creation of 60,000 new jobs over the past year, is a direct result of high economic growth.
