Georgia's Transformation into a Modern Market Democracy
POLICY FORUM

12:00 PM (Luncheon to Follow)
Featuring Kakha Bendukidze, State Minister on
Reforms Coordination, Georgia; with comments by
Andrei Illarionov, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute,

The Cato Institute

Washington, DC 20001
Following the Rose Revolution of 2003, the former
Soviet Republic of Georgia began far-reaching
reforms in governance and economic policy that
are turning the country into a post-socialist
success story. Georgia now ranks 44 out of 141
countries on the Economic Freedom of the World
index, is cited by the World Bank as one of the
world's leading reformers, and is sustaining
economic growth of more than 9 percent per year.
Kakha Bendukidze, one of Georgia's key reformers,
will explain how his country is rapidly
modernizing and will share his vision for
continued high growth in a sometimes hostile
neighborhood. Andrei Illarionov will assess
Georgia's progress and highlight its remaining
challenges in consolidating democratic capitalism.
