This Transparency International Georgia research post totals direct budget transfers from Georgia's Ministry of Finance to the Georgian Orthodox Patriarchate since the 2002 Constitutional Agreement, drawing on the state's own published budget line items, and notes additional sums reaching the Patriarchate from local and municipal budgets and from the president's and prime minister's reserve funds. It is the source used here for the scale and mechanism of direct state funding to the Georgian Church.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Transparency International's Georgian chapter is an established anti-corruption watchdog that compiles its figures from Georgia's own state budget and Ministry of Finance disclosures rather than from advocacy claims. It is independent research built on government financial records rather than either party's own account of the arrangement, hence the middle tier. Citation
