Commenting on the year ahead, Irakli Gilauri, Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Georgia Holdings PLC and JSC Bank of Georgia, said: "In 2013, we do not expect any changes to the fundamentals of our business strategy. We intend to continue to focus on the Georgian market, with retail banking and corporate banking continuing to drive profitability.
"The full effects of our recent scaling up of the business are still to be realised, as more customers shift to electronic channels. The introduction of a sophisticated CRM [Content Relationship Management] system will further enhance product penetration and boost revenues per client, thus further improving our efficiency."
