David Songulashvili: “By the end of April, the public will be briefed on the concrete outcomes of the Commission’s work ''.

According to Mr. Songulashvili, Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and a member of the Governmental Coordination Commission on food prices, the public will be informed of the commission’s concrete outcomes by the end of April.

“During the organizational meeting of the governmental commission, we reviewed the action plan while also outlining the operational process for moving forward. Meetings with all relevant stakeholders have been scheduled to discuss the action plan and determine the priority outcomes of the commission’s activities,” Mr. David Songulashvili stated.
 

The Governmental Coordination Commission, led by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and initially focused on food prices, will also address pharmaceutical and fuel pricing. The decision was announced at the commission’s first session at the Government Administration, where members outlined an action plan for the coming weeks, including meetings with producers, retail chains, and distribution companies.

The commission will work in coordination with the relevant parliamentary committee and is expected to complete its activities by the end of April. Throughout the process, the public will be briefed on the actual cost of products, the components of pricing, and any potentially unjustified price markups. Members of the commission anticipate that price reductions will begin gradually, in parallel with the progress of the commission’s work.
