Foreign investors welcomed adoption of the Law on Free Industrial Zones in 2007 was followed by the respective sub-laws on regulation of the rules for establishment and operation of Free Industrial Zones in 2008. However no such zones have been established. Even Poti free zone, that seemed most prepared to start investment and operation is not there. 2008 was a difficult year from Georgia because of August war and global financial crisis has possibly contributed in creating obstacles for foreign investors' initiatives. Allowing so needed benefits for Georgia such as inflow of foreign investments and creation of thousands of new jobs should certainly be on the priority list of Georgian government. Hence the Government itself does not seem making further steps to modify or improve legislation and provide more protection for potential investors of prospective Georgian free zones.DavidGaudihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10148456251857167503noreply@blogger.com
