Dear AmCham members,

An intro to the event from George Welton.

"As part of their strategy development process, EBRD asked me (as an economic analyst) to conduct some research into the challenges that Georgia faces exporting to the EU.

I did this over the course of last summer and fall and the result was the 145-page report that I am attaching here. The report combines a macro overview of Georgia's exports, its implementation of the Association Agreement (as relates to trade) and FDI in the tradable sector. The second half is a deep-dive into about 20 sectors/sub-sectors which are often seen as Georgia's great opportunity sectors.

I have already presented this to the EU, many in the diplomatic corp and some government but I also thought it might be of interest to AmCham members."
