The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development shares Ukraine's ambitions to be among the top-100 countries of the World Bank's Doing Business ranking and would like to help Ukraine achieve this goal, said the President of EBRD, Sir Suma Chakrabarti , after the meeting with the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. The EBRD President said that his bank is ready to keep financing projects in Ukraine at a previous rate - about 1 billion euro per year.
This goal is commendable but it requires months and years of hard work, noted Sir Suma. Besides, Ukraine has to provide a good business climate and improve customs, tax and judicial systems as well as solve the corruption issue, stressed the banker.
The EBRD president remains sure this goal requires trilateral efforts of Ukrainian government, business entities and EBRD together with other international financial organizations. Concurrently, the European banker said that after a series of meetings with Ukrainian state officials he had felt the readiness of Ukrainian government to work on solving problems, reported Ukrinform.
