"After several months of work, the project was successfully completed. From today the lari has its own symbol. This is a very important part in terms of promotion of our currency and further strengthening of confidence. The day will come when Georgia will join the EU, will become a full member of it and will abandon its currency but before that we will do everything in order to make the confidence in the national currency was very high. I want to take this opportunity to note that it is the 20th anniversary of national currency in the coming year, and in connection with this we will have very serious and important innovations," Kadagidze said.
