“Every day we hear a lot about betrayal and what Ukraine has failed to succeed in, but we can still observe progress and we should keep acknowledging it. Therefore, we decided to analyze what steps forward Ukraine has taken. It is important to inform not only about failures, but also about successes, because this is important both for the positive perception of reforms within the country and for the support of Ukraine by the international community,” said the Head of the Secretariat of Reanimation Package of Reforms, Nataliia Yevchenko.

Such key achievements of Ukrainian reforms as the assignment of drug procurement to international organizations, banking system cleansing, establishment of over seven hundred amalgamated territorial communities, ceasing to import Russian gas, as well as a number of achievements in the economic sphere have been also emphasized in the bulletin.

“In the World Bank’s Doing Business Ranking, Ukraine has moved up from 112th to 76th position in four years. This, of course, is a product of many contributing factors. RPR has identified several important changes in the economic sector. They are related to the deregulation of businesses, decrease in the losses of state-owned enterprises, introduction of electronic administration and VAT refunds,” said Nataliia Yevchenko.
