The key condition for the resumption of private foreign investors' interest in Ukraine is the restoration of peace in the country, Adviser to the Warsaw Stock Exchange, board member of Progress Holding (Poland) Bogdan Adamowicz considers.
“The first thing is that peace should be restored. Then we can talk about preserving the country’s integrity. And if it is, then investors will be interested (in investment in Ukraine),” he said at the second international business forum “Ukraine 2015. Strategic vision: opportunities and challenges” in Kharkiv.
The expert noted investors do not perceive the current situation with the implementation of the Minsk agreements as the establishment of peace.
“Definitely not, it is temporary. The current situation in Ukraine is in limbo,” he said.
However, he stressed that democratic countries and international funds are ready to support Ukraine, but the country also needs to perform reforms.
“Public investment from the EU and other countries, as well as international funds will definitely help Ukraine, because the international community shares the ideas of Ukraine and supports its formation … But you need to do your own, you need to develop, because it is important that you do your own tasks, follow them and tried to move forward. The EU market is very large and there are many opportunities for goods and services exports by Ukrainian companies,” Adamowicz said.
