Origins and the Reasons of Monetary Crises in Georgia (1995-2016)

The article “Monetary Crises in Georgia” (Authors: Doctor of Economy, David Aslanishvili and Doctor of Business Administration, Kristine Omadze) is the first attempt to overview the three main monetary crises in Georgian history since its independence and to study origins of the crises and evolution. The purpose of this article is to study the three monetary crises in Georgia itself and the errors in the Monetary Policy provided by The National Bank of Georgia and Georgian Government. It is crucial for stable economic development to have corrected Monetary Policy and to avoid mistakes similar to the mentioned in this article. At the same time, the article pays attention to importance of coordination providing Monetary Policy between the National Bank of Georgia and the Ministry of Finance. In our opinion only such coordination is the best solution for crisis prevention. Our research aims to determine the relevance and regularity of Georgian Lari (GEL) exchange rate and monetary policies conducted by the National Bank of Georgia.
