According to Oleksiy Sobolev, Deputy Minister of Economy, who spoke at the conference "Corporate Reform - the Way to Transparent and Effective State Property Management," corporate governance reform is one of the criteria for Ukraine's European integration.
This is an opportunity for Ukraine to work according to the rules that apply in other democratic countries. As a result, investor-friendly rules build trust and increase the chances of an investor entering the Ukrainian market. And this allows attracting billions of additional resources and changing strategic state-owned companies for the benefit of the state and Ukrainians
U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink, who also took part in the event, expressed her opinion on the critical importance of the adoption of the law, which promotes better corporate governance, for reforms and future changes.
