Georgian pharmaceutical companies have come under fire for their lack of social responsibility in the pharmaceutical market. In a recent statement, the Minister of Health, Zurab Azarashvili, stated that Georgia will likely be one of the worst examples in this regard.

New Public Defender of Georgia Levan Ioseliani introduced his deputies. Elena Gudushauri and Natia Dzhulakidze have been appointed to these positions.

The Ministry of Finance of Georgia, Lasha Khutsishvili, and the Regional Director of the World Bank for the South Caucasus, Sebastian Molyneux, signed two loan agreements worth 115 million euros with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The purpose of the loans is to support green and sustainable development policies in Georgia, as well as sustainable agriculture, irrigation, and land market development.
