The signing of the Association Agreement and Georgia’s accession to the energy community in October 2016 imposed some important obligations on the country to reform its energy markets. For the electricity market, 2018 will be a turning point.

On March 12, 2018, the implementation of a capital market development strategy was evaluated during the second phase of ReforMeter.

Drug policy reform is now at the center of a heated debate in Georgia. Despite the importance of the subject, however, most of the discussions I have heard so far are based on phobias and myths, rather than on evidence.

Having an informed opinion on the issue is, therefore, extremely important.
