"Our task is to generate a reasonable regulation, prevent any abuse of supervisory authorities, create such a stable system so that you could quite easily anticipate its investments in the Ukrainian economy. Business climate should be comfortable, despite the origin of investment," said Volodymyr Groysman, referring to businesses.

According to him, the Government’s home task is to create favorable simple conditions so that investors can do their business easily. Volodymyr Groysman stressed that the Ukrainian Government's priorities are deregulation and ensuring investors with free access to Ukraine.

Amidst the most promising areas in Ukraine that can "bring success to those who invest and for our country", according to him, are the energy industry, IT sector and the agricultural complex.
