S. Arbuzov: Ukraine remains attractive to investors despite the political confrontation

Ukraine is attractive for foreign investors, despite political confrontation. This was stated by the Acting Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhiy Arbuzov.

"We know that investors like political certainty. However, as events had showed, foreign businesses were not afraid of risks associated with the political situation in Ukraine. Investors do only continue to cooperate with our country, but they also increase their investment," he said.

Among recent examples S. Arbuzov noticed the newly announced by Czech company Škoda Transportation the willingness to open manufacturing of locomotives in Zporizhzhya.

The acting Prime Minister also remained the intention of Chinese Lishen Battery to create production line in Dnepropetrovsk to produce lithium-ion batteries, battery and electric car assembly.

In addition, S. Arbuzov pointed out the extensive cooperation of leading international institutions and countries with Ukraine.

In particular, assessing the results of last year's Ukrainian-Chinese agreements, he said that because of this tens of billions of dollars may be involved in Ukraine from China.

S. Arbuzov also said that Ukraine will soon receive first investment from Russia in 2014, which were made possible through the Ukrainian-Russian agreement, which took place in late 2013.
