"In the issues of privatization we should determine which enterprises
should undergo reorganization, what strategy for them to develop, to ensure realistic
assessment of their value it is necessary to conduct financial analysis of
the real state of affairs. It is impossible to privatize objects that affect
public safety", commented Olexii Pavlenko. "We are grateful to Olexii Pavlenko for the principled position – to introduce as
soon as possible an electronic public procurement system to avoid anyone to
steal the money. Privatization of state agricultural enterprises has great
potential, especially for the regions. The Ministry has a clear vision of how
to create conditions for innovative business in Ukraine. Obstacles
for privatization is the lack of trust by society. However, it can be
overcome if to create conditions for effective competition and transparent
tenders for Ukrainian and foreign investors,” stressed Giorgi
Vashadze. |
