As the Press Speaker noted, according to the study called “Doing Business 2012,” Georgia is in first place among 183 countries in terms of the reforms implemented in the sphere of registering real estate. 

“This success is related to the alteration of the law base and adopting new technologies, which has shortened time and relevant procedures needed to register real estate in Georgia. This is a fairly large relief for businessmen, producers, and investors.” – stated Manana Manjgaladze.
