Director of Pension Agency of Georgia Resigns

Levan Surguladze, Director of Pension Agency of Georgia, has applied Supervisory Board for the resignation.

"I have applied to the Supervisory Board for resignation as the Pension Agency is functioning properly, all processes have been sorted out. If Supervisory Board considers that I should stay in an office for a while, that won’t be a problem," he said.

“Pension reform is a cornerstone of social stability and a long-term, very important reform for the country's economy. Mr. Surguladze, as far as I know, performed his functions quite well in the beginning. This person said he wanted to go and could we force him to work? This is his personal decision and I cannot comment on his personal decision,” Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Gakharia said about his resignation.

Levan Surguladze was appointed as the Director of the Pension Agency on September 17, 2018.
