He explained that, first of all, restrictive measures include the ban on the import of Georgian wine and mineral water to Russia, as well as the restriction of remittances from Russia to Georgia. According to him, to date, Russia ranks first in terms of cash remittances; remittances have increased one and a half times over the past two years and totaled $ 641 million last year.
“These are very large amounts of money, if you take and add the transfer of these funds with the income that Georgia receives from the wine and mineral water import to Russia, as well revenues from our tourists. It is about 10% of the gross domestic product, which Georgia gets as a state,” said the Chairman of the State Duma.
