Governed by: The Law of Georgia on Free Trade and Competition of 2005. [1][2]
This page is under construction and will be updated shortly to reflect the 2005 law, which revoked the previous competition law of 1996 in its entirety. According to the English translations that are currently available, the 2005 competition law eliminates nearly all antimonopoly measures, while introducing significant state assistance for Georgian business. This appears to have corresponded with the opening of Geogrian markets to international free trade, with the elimination or reduction of many tariffs and import duties[3]. Georgia plans to avoid any changes to its current competition law, for the time being.[4].
