Georgia's foreign trade and the challenges facing the country's economic security
(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2023) Putkaradze, Ramaz
In terms of globalization, external economic security of the country is one of the main elements of national
security; therefore, the country should pay more attention to it. External economic security is always on the
agenda for small states, including Georgia. Having historical ties and geographical proximity to great powers,
small states find themselves at a disadvantage in confrontation. The experience of the Baltic countries proves
that external economic security of these countries is mainly related to NATO and EU membership.
Diversification of foreign trade is critical. This is evidenced by the experience of both developing and developed
countries. Recently, trade relations between Georgia and Russia have been increasing, which is associated
with certain risks and dangers.
Georgia's negative foreign trade balance has increased at large and amounted to $ 7.9 billion in 2022. It is
essential to gradually reduce the negative trade balance by increasing local exports. The country has quite great
export potential, which isn’t properly used. The main characteristic of Georgia’s foreign trade is low level of
export and negative trade balance.
Georgia's export of goods to the CIS countries in 2022 increased by 33% compared to the previous year.
Georgia is a potential candidate country for the European Union. Notwithstanding, the share of the European
Union in the country's foreign trade is low.
It’s important for Georgia to develop and strengthen trade and economic relations with the members of
international community. Widening the scale of trade and economic relations with its strategic partner countries
is of special importance for Georgia.
Diversification of export is very important for Georgia and consequently, the EU market is one of the main
priorities for the country. The Association Agreement signed between Georgia and the European Union will
open the EU single market for Georgia. According to 2022 data, the EU accounts for 26% of total trade turnover
of Georgia, 22% of export and 28% of total import.
The role and position of Georgia in foreign trade of the EU is very modest. According to the 2022 data, Georgia
holds 87th position among the EU importer countries, 62th place among exporter countries and 761h position
in the total trade turnover. In the concluding part of the paper theoretical and practical conclusions and recommendations
are made.

oversight. Each of these dimensions plays a vital role in ensuring that auditors fulfill their duty to provide
an unbiased and accurate assessment of a company's financial statements. The paper also investigates the
methods employed to evaluate audit quality, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Empirical
studies, audit inspection reports, and self-assessment questionnaires are among the tools used to assess various
dimensions of audit quality. The paper discusses the advantages and limitations of each method, shedding
light on the challenges faced by researchers, regulators, and practitioners in effectively measuring and improving
audit quality. Furthermore, the paper delves into the role of audit quality in the context of corporate governance
and its impact on financial markets. It examines the link between audit quality and firm performance, stock prices, and the reliability of financial information. The results of this analysis have implications for investors,
regulators, and auditors seeking to understand the broader consequences of audit quality. This research
paper serves as a comprehensive overview of the audit quality concept, its characteristics, and the methods
used to assess it. It emphasizes the crucial role of audit quality in financial reporting and corporate governance,
providing valuable insights for both academic and practical purposes. Understanding the complexities of audit
quality is imperative for ensuring financial markets' continued stability and reliability.
