A system that is a mixed economy has established in modern post-industrial countries and the participation of the state in it is very important. The active role of the state is especially evident in extreme situations, as evidenced by the
experience of the most acute of the 21st century - the global financial crisis and the coronary crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Against the background of the implemented and ongoing changes in the economies of world and nation states in
economic theory today we see the revival of the Keynesian doctrine. This doctrine withdrew the United States of America, as well as other countries, out of the worst crisis of the 20th century, out of the so-called „The Great Depression“ and it has been
a major factor in the unprecedented economic success of these countries during four decades.
A comparative analysis of the global financial and economic crises shows that the state not only plays a leading role in the
process of rescuing economies from the crisis, but also its participation in post-crisis development, which implies the so-called
Performing the function of «bridge management».
Based on the experience of the coronary crisis, in order to ensure the stability and development of the Georgian economy,
we consider it necessary:
• Based on finding and using local resources, the state should implement economic policies aimed at accelerating
the development of the real sector of the economy, diversifying the internal food market, reducing the negative foreign
trade balance of agri-food products. This does not mean prioritizing import-substituting production, but focusing on the
development of local production of products whose resources currently exist in our country;
• The state must create strategic reserves of food, medical supplies and basic necessities, which are vital in a rapidly
changing global environment full of uncertainty and risk;
• Attitudes towards the tourism sector need to be changed substantially. After the end of the pandemic, the world
will return to normal life and the number of tourists entering Georgia will increase again. However, given the lessons of the
pandemic, we must bear in mind that it is necessary to: a) move to an intensive model of tourism; B) Organic inclusion of
tourism in the local value chain; C) Pay more attention to the development of local tourism.
