Five key
reforms that the Government has planned to implement in 2017: a pension, land
reforms, a health care reform, those of education and public privatization –
will put Ukraine on the track of sustainable economic growth. This was stated
by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman during the II Ukrainian Business Forum.
"We assume
that in 2017 we must pursue 5 crucial reforms for our country. When asked what
should be done to change the situation in the country and to make it rather
sustainable, I assure you that there are 5 positions that will lead and return
us to the path of sustainable economic growth", stressed Volodymyr Groysman.
So, the
Government will shortly come out with propositions and real calculations of how
to hold a fair pension reforms that will guarantee in the medium term the pension
system to be deficit-free.
Also, the
Cabinet has plans to carry out an open, competitive sale of over 3.5 thousand
state-owned enterprises, which, according to Volodymyr
Groysman, are rather ineffective, being the source of
corruption and working in the interests of those who engage in their management
at different levels. "They (inefficient SOEs) are costly for the Ukrainian
economy and hampering economic growth," he urged.
Besides,
the Government has found a formula for how to launch the land turnover in
Ukraine, whereby a strong farmer class will occur in Ukraine and will produce
competitive national product and leverage additional investment in the
country's economic upswing, accentuated the Prime Minister.
Moreover,
on the agenda is carrying out sectoral reforms in healthcare
and education domains.
