On 10 July, the 15th Kyiv Post CEO Breakfast was held at the InterContinental Kyiv. The event was organised by S&P Investment Risk Management Agency and DHL Express Ukraine.
The topic of the meeting was Ukraine’s Road to Prosperity. The participants discussed the need to create a fiscal investigation service, the effectiveness of the anti-corruption court, gas prices, subsidies, creating an effective anti-smuggling mechanism and other pressing issues.
Business representatives have noted noticeable improvements in the banking sector. After many years of crisis and financial losses, today we can talk about increased liquidity and, in the long run, the empowerment of creditors.
In addition, they raised the issues of raising the property tax, restrictions on transfer pricing abuse, the legal status of the tax police, and the thorny issue of eradicating corruption at customs and in other areas of the public and private sectors.
Talking about our country’s path to prosperity, the participants of the 15th CEO Breakfast, under the auspices of the Kyiv Post, came to the conclusion that Ukraine is a worthy country for investment, which has every chance of success. Unfortunately, positive changes are happening too slowly in our country. Ukraine has enormous potential that can be realised if the business climate is favourable and the necessary reforms are implemented. At the moment, unfortunately, direct investment in Ukraine remains negligible.
