Aivaras Abromavicius met with Geoffrey Pyatt

Deregulation is among the priority activities of the Ministry that is capable to quickly provide a positive effect for the development of entrepreneurship and the entire economy of the country. This was stated by the Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Aivaras Abromavicius during a meeting with U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt.

"As for the economy, I am rather liberal. My goal is to maximally deregulate all processes in the economy to enable the business to breathe. We are aware that the business had certain difficulties, but now the Government is working on the investment climate and the changes, which are required by the local and foreign business," said Aivaras Abromavicius.

Apart from deregulation, according to the Minister, the priority objectives have been determined also a radical reform of the state enterprise management, streamlining of the work of the Ministry he chairs, which, in the opinion of Aivaras Abromavicius must be modern, open. It is the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine which should form a general concept of economic development, implement reforms, promote exports and trade.

In turn, the U.S. Ambassador emphasized that the United States had helped and were ready to provide assistance to the Ukrainian Government on the way of reforms in the future.

"We are ready to cooperate with you and your Ministry. So I'm here today to get an understanding of your priorities and lines of activity. To understand how we can help," said Geoffrey Pyatt.
