Zelensky meets with the largest investors in Ukrainian government securities

The head of state promised investors that the National Bank of Ukraine would preserve its independence.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during his visit to the UK, met with representatives of the largest investors in Ukrainian government securities. This was reported by the press service of the head of state on Thursday, October 8.

“We are doing everything possible for their protection, trust, potential development and new projects,” Zelensky said, addressing investors.

The president noted that the spread of COVID-19 has become a challenge for both the world and the Ukrainian economy. At the same time, the government of Ukraine predicts that this year our economy will contract by 4.8% and next year a significant recovery is expected, up to 4.6%.

“We expect Ukraine to be economically more stable than other countries as key industries, particularly agribusiness and information technology, have been less affected and will contribute to economic recovery,” he said.

Zelensky emphasized that the support of international partners is extremely important for Ukraine.

“We are grateful to the IMF, the EU and the World Bank for the financial support packages for our state and support for important reforms in Ukraine,” the president said.

The head of state emphasized that Ukraine is constantly implementing all the reforms agreed in the memorandum with the IMF. In particular, the gas market has been liberalized for private consumers and a transparent agricultural land market has been introduced.

The president noted that since the appointment of the new head of the National Bank of Ukraine, the NBU has continued to pursue a balanced monetary policy to ensure macroeconomic stability.

“The National Bank was, is and will be independent,” said Vladimir Zelensky.

It was previously reported that Britain has expanded quotas for Ukrainian products. The Ministry of Economy explained the essence of the trade agreement signed between Ukraine and Great Britain.
