The new
report highlights the urgency for high-priority economic and institutional
reforms; argues that economic crisis could open windows of opportunity for
state reforms in Ukraine.
"Ukraine
is one of the worst-hit countries by economic slowdown in Eastern Europe due to
sharp decline in demand for metallurgical and chemical products in the global
market. It is vital to analyse the recent achievements and shortcomings and
revisit the agenda of national human development priorities," explained Cihan
Sultanoglu, Deputy Director at UNDP Regional Bureau for Europe and the CIS, who
came to Ukraine on official visit.
"The
new report urges for a concerted reform effort in Ukraine, analysing recent developments
against a set of 170 policy recommendations, which indicate most relevant
measures aimed at building market institutions, providing macroeconomic
stabilization and taking advantage of international trade on a path to
regaining dynamic, long-term growth that will give the country the
international prominence it so richly deserves" she added.
