Levan Zhorzholiani, the Head of the Georgian Government Administration, on Tuesday said that Georgia’s 29th place in the Chandler Institute’s 2025 Good Government report - ahead of 15 EU and NATO member states - was a direct result of state programs designed to stimulate private sector growth.

In his remarks, Zhorzholiani emphasized that both central Government institutions and local municipalities were actively involved in programs aimed at helping businesses expand and innovate. 

“This report measures the Government’s ability to maximally support the private sector through concrete initiatives. In this regard, the Government has numerous programs, both at the local self-government and central Government levels, which provide support for private initiatives and businesses, subsidize specific sectors, stimulate various business activities, and promote the development of new areas”, he said.

He further noted that, given the scale and diversity of Governmental support, Georgia’s ranking was a logical outcome rather than an unexpected achievement.

“Therefore, Georgia’s position in the global ranking is not surprising. This ranking is based on a global study by the World Bank, involving seven international evaluation organizations”, Zhorzholiani concluded.

The Chandler Institute has published its long-term vision rankings as part of its 2025 Good Governance Report.

Georgia was ranked 29th among the world’s top thirty and 19th among Europe’s top twenty for its private-sector-supportive governance.
