Georgian Banks and Economy for Standard Companies
Why is the flow of foreign companies to Georgia increasing every year? There are several reasons for the pro-active interest of mid-tier investors and businessmen in Georgia:
- a beneficial strategic location between East and West, where trade routes are opened, and access to the markets of Asia, Europe, China, CIS countries and the Middle East is established;
- import tax depends on the type of goods and varies from 0% and 5% to 12%;
- when starting a business in one of the free industrial zones, for example in Tbilisi, the company receives additional privileges regarding taxes and reporting;
- simplified business procedures with a number of foreign countries, including Japan, Canada,, Turkey, Switzerland, China;
- Georgia’s projected GDP for 2019 was expected to increase by 4.5% to 4.8% while in 2018 it was 4.8% higher than in 2017;
- the increase in profits of Georgian banks for 2018 compared to 2017 amounted to 5%.
For all the virtues of running a business in Georgia, one should always keep in mind the possible risks of losing money from the accounts in the event of a number of circumstances. For example, the Latvian ABLV Bank, once popular with the clients and depositors, is now undergoing a stage of voluntary dissolution that has affected all of their clients in a negative way. This is especially true for corporate accounts that exceeded USD 100,000.
A standard company in Georgia, in order to maintain a stable financial position, could benefit from opening a spare bank account with BOSLIL Bank Limited.
