PM Shmyhal: We have to give investors the right messages

“Bringing the business climate in Ukraine in line with the latest world standards is a priority for the government in general and for each ministry in particular. I hope that our cooperation will allow us to create an even better business environment, which then will be reflected in business rankings,” the prime minister said.  

He noted the importance of the recommendations made by the Council of Business Associations on attracting investments to the country. "We have to give investors the right messages and the right recommendations," Shmyhal said.

The prime minister also listened to proposals from ICBAC representatives on improving the environment for business in Ukraine and took questions. During the discussion, an agreement was reached on the participation of representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine and representatives of other business associations in the work of the Economic Development Council of Ukraine. Moreover, the parties agreed to hold meetings of business associations with representatives of the Government of Ukraine on a regular basis - every six months.

The meeting was attended by the Minister for Development of Economy, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine Ihor Petrashko, President of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Hennadii Chyzhykov, Chairman of the Board of the German-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce Alexander Markus, Managing Director at the Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce Emma Touros, Chairman of the British-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce Bate Toms, President of the Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce Bertrand Barrier and members of other international business associations and chambers in Ukraine.
