We would like to address the recent alarming developments at the National Bank of Georgia (NBG). Throughout the past decades, the NBG has firmly upheld its institutional and political independence, adhered to international standards and obligations, demonstrated exceptional professionalism in guiding the country's monetary policy, and maintained financial and macroeconomic stability.
