Ex-finance minister, Kakha Baindurashvili, became new president of Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, replacing Jemal Inaishvili who led the chamber for past seven years.

Kakha Baindurashvili has been replaced on the post of Finance Minister by his deputy Dimitri Gvindadze in June; he was appointed as chairman of supervisory board of the state-owned Georgian Post.

PM Nika Gilauri welcomed Baindurashvili’s appointment; he told journalists that the chamber was an important tool for keeping “dialogue with business.”

“Dialogue with business – that’s our slogan and we want to continue this process,” PM Gilauri said.
