IMF experts review Georgia's digital business and property registration model
Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry reported on 10 November that it hosted experts from the International Monetary Fund's TADAT Secretariat. The agency presented its systems for registering businesses and real estate as well as its digital public services.
Deputy Chair Nino Barkaia outlined the agency's registration model, information access and online tools. The delegation also reviewed data exchange between the Public Registry and the Revenue Service, which supports coordinated state and tax registration procedures.
Another focus was the agency's 'Smart Contract' service, which enables certain business and property transactions to be performed remotely. The experts visited a registration office to observe the application process.
The agency described the visit as an introductory exchange. It did not announce IMF approval of a new reform or immediate changes in registration fees, processing times or requirements for foreign founders. Businesses should continue to use the registry's currently published rules.
