December 12, the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Abkhazia Tamila Mertskhulava took part in a scientific-practical conference dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Abkhazia and congratulated the Minister of Economy Adgur Ardzinba.

Dear Mr. Ardzinba!

On behalf of the staff of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Abkhazia and on my own behalf, I congratulate you and the entire staff of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Abkhazia on the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Ministry.

Today, the activities of the Ministry of Economy are focused on launching mechanisms of qualitative economic growth, calculated not for one year, but for the long term. This, in turn, creates conditions for truly positive changes in people's lives.

Recently, the active work has been carried out on a comprehensive action plan that is capable of providing a significant acceleration of the growth rates of our economy. Stabilization is giving way to development, and the conditions that are emerging today are unprecedented for the economy of modern Abkhazia over the past 25 years. Therefore, in the coming years, we should all do everything together so that our economy develops according to a target scenario that can unite the interests of business and the state.

In this regard, I would like to mention the interaction of the CCI of RA with the Ministry of Economy in recent years. We have had a number of joint work trips, both to the Russian Federation and to foreign countries.

In order to attract investment in Abkhazia, the leadership of the Ministry of Economy officially met with representatives of the business community of different countries who visited our Republic on the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In turn, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry participates in all events held by the Ministry of Economy on the territory of Abkhazia.

Investments are important for the Ministry of Economy, as well as for the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It is important that the enormous opportunities that exist for businesses contribute to making real money. Therefore, in order to implement such projects, it is worthwhile to offer investors to invest in the most promising industries and enterprises, but at the same time provide them with substantial guarantees. However, the Ministry experts have already done a lot to create a flexible regulatory framework for investors.

We are very similar in many areas of activity, so I am confident that our partnership and friendly relations will serve as a solid basis for the further development of the economy and be an example of effective business practice.

Once again, we congratulate you on the anniversary of the Ministry and wish you success in all your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Tamila Mertskulava

President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Abkhazia
