Georgia

Georgia’s central bank acting head met with the IMF representative, pledging to uphold restrictions on Russia after a controversial decision brought Georgia’s commitment to international penalties into focus. After the NBG released the assets of ex-Prosecutor General Otar Partskhaladze, facing US sanctions due to new Russia-focused limits, three deputy chiefs and an adviser resigned. President Zourabichvili called for the former economy minister’s resignation and apologized for nominating her personally.
