Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated that there is practically no parameter by which Georgia does not outperform Ukraine and Moldova—by at least “a head and even ten heads.”
The head of government added that these are countries with which the EU has already opened negotiations, despite their corruption indicators.
Kobakhidze pointed out that in terms of indicators over the last five years—from 2021 to 2025—the gap between the economies of Georgia and Moldova has increased by $12.5 billion.
“This means that the gap between our budgets—those of Georgia and Moldova—has grown by approximately $3 billion. These are facts. There are also many facts regarding democracy, human rights, and corruption. Moldova is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe, as is Ukraine, yet you see that there is practically no criticism directed at them on these issues,” the Georgian Prime Minister stated.
Meanwhile, opponents of the government point to the work of the parliamentary commission for the study of prices, emphasizing that prices in Georgia have not yet decreased.
The commission is tasked with analyzing the causes of rising prices for food and other essential goods. Its mission is to study the market situation and seek potential solutions: hearings are held, information is gathered, and reports are prepared, but store prices remain at the same level or continue to rise.
