After the shock period, provoked by the loss of part of the territory and the conflict in the east, the Ukrainian economy began to grow, but not enough.
This was in an interview for ZN.UA said the vice-president of the World Bank Cyril Muller, writes Finance.ua.
According to him, now all international partners, which help Ukraine overcome a difficult period, are working to ensure that economic growth accelerates.
"This is one of our key tasks. We must deepen the reforms begun in the country so that the economic development rate will increase and stabilization will be noticeable not only at the macro level but also at the level of ordinary citizens so that they feel that their life has improved. Therefore, the issue of deepening economic changes is urgent now, "the representative of the World Bank said.
In his opinion, there are key reforms that should be top priority for the government. First, we are talking about the completion of the transformation of the energy sector. Secondly, it is impossible to stop the reform of the banking sector. Of course, the most urgent issue now is the reform of state-owned banks. Third, a more productive agricultural sector should become one of the engines of economic growth.
"Ukraine has a very important asset - significant reserves of fertile land. We believe that today there is a huge demand in the world for agricultural products, in particular food products. Ukraine can become one of the world leaders in this market, "Muller stressed.
