СКАЧАТЬ damage the economy has suffered due to civil strife, Georgia, with

       the help of the IMF and World Bank, has made substantial economic

       gains since 1995, achieving positive GDP growth and curtailing

       inflation. However, the Georgian Government suffers from limited

       resources due to a chronic failure to collect tax revenues. Georgia

       also suffers from energy shortages; it privatized the T'bilisi

       distribution network in 1998, but collection rates are low, making

       the venture unprofitable. The country is pinning its hopes for

       long-term growth on its role as a transit state for pipelines and

       trade. The start of construction on the Baku-T'bilisi-Ceyhan oil

       pipeline and the Baku-T'bilisi-Erzerum gas pipeline will bring

       much-needed investment and job opportunities.
