The Georgian government will make decisions this week, leading to a reduction of drug prices, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said at today’s Cabinet sitting.

He noted that the government plans to start importing high-quality medicines from Turkey that would affect drug prices.

PM also reviewed the country’s social policy, stressing the need for more jobs. “Reducing poverty should be the country’s main task this year.”

“On my initiative, working on public job creation is underway. The group led by Levan Davitashvili worked on several countries experiences in this regard. We will launch this project in January and create tens of thousands of new jobs.

No elections will be held in the country for the next three years. The political situation is noticeably stable and we have to work now,” PM stated.
