I agree with Mr. Sorokin that a universal anti-crisis model is absolutely impossible. This is why each country will have to clearly define where it would like to be after the crisis. This is very important to make correct choices. Speaking about Georgia, I’d like to comment on its aspirations of European integration. Georgia harmonized its legislation with the EU. Georgia wants deep and comprehensive free trade agreements with the EU. Georgia needs European life standards. However, speaking of an economic development model, Georgian authorities prefer the Singapore model. As you know, Singapore has no economic regulations and limited democracy.
A successful model for one country is a nightmare for another. In this context, I think that the biggest challenge is to find different approaches for different countries.
