economist

Paata Sheshelidze is the president of the New Economic School in Georgia and a vocal critic of the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) presence in the country.

Recently, he expressed support for the idea of the IMF withdrawing from Georgia, asserting that it would not harm the economy and could lead to more effective domestic policies.
