Utility Bills of Certain Households to be Funded for Three Months

The Georgian Government has decided to fully fund the utility bills of those households who consume less than 200 kilowatts of electricity and 200 m3 of natural gas per month in March, April and May, Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia announced at today's session of the Inter-Agency Coordination Council. 

The head of government added that funding also includes cleaning service and water bills.

“This includes both cleaning service and water bills. The government took this decision in order to help our citizens; however, we understand that this assistance will not be enough. Of course, we understand that we have to identify every citizen who has lost their job and after that, we will make special arrangements for their direct assistance,” the PM said.

The state has decided to allocate GEL 2 billion to support the country's economy amid the crisis related to the spread of the new coronavirus.
