WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Friday that Georgia's economy, still suffering from the effects of last year's five-day war and stung by a global downturn, faces "considerable" risks and policy will have to be nimble to respond.
"The combined shocks to the current and capital accounts are likely to be larger and more prolonged than originally expected, increasing the external adjustment challenge and diminishing near-term growth prospects," the IMF board said in a summary of its annual review of Georgia's economy.
