Ran Gidor: We See More Obstacles in the Direction of Business and Investment

Israel's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Ran Gidor, told InterpressNews that investors in Georgia have been encountering an increasing number of obstacles recently. If these difficulties are not fixed, he believes it will be difficult to persuade the Israeli business community that Georgia is a viable investment destination.

"I regret to announce that, in recent months, there have been an increasing number of barriers to conducting business and investing in this country. I'm hoping to resolve this with the government's assistance; otherwise, convincing the Israeli business community and potential investors to take financial risks here would be tough "According to the ambassador.

According to Ran Gidor, Israel, as a friend of Georgia, wants to see stability in the country.

"Israel, like all other friends of Georgia, wants to see stability here, one that will help Georgia overcome the pandemic crisis and achieve the prosperity that the Georgian people deserve. Recent events, sadly do not contribute to stability. Unfortunately, in recent months Israeli investors and the business community showed a fair discontent, which makes it more and more difficult to do business in Georgia. I look forward to working with the Georgian government to rectify this situation. There will be a situation where there is no choice but to warn Israeli investors about the risk of investing money in this country," the ambassador said.
