More than 350 enterprises are already being transferred to safe places, says Denys Shmyhal

Ukrainian industry survived its first shock and production is being restored where possible. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in an interview with Novoe Vremya (NV).

"We have already received more than 1,100 applications from companies located in the temporarily occupied territories or in the areas where hostilities are taking place, and we are helping them to relocate to safe places. More than 350 companies are already in the process of transfer and 90 companies have already started working," the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister noted that almost all enterprises located in Right-bank Ukraine today work, pay taxes and save jobs.

"Most of our plants have resumed operations. We call on the service business to do the same. 2% of turnover - you can work and earn money by creating new jobs for their families, for their friends and relatives," Denys Shmyhal underscored.

The Head of Government stressed that the state has made big deregulation for business. Thus, more than 700 permits and licenses were revoked, the tax system was simplified, and customs were opened. The Prime Minister added that the "5-7-9" loan program was also simplified to the most possible extent: a sum up to UAH 60 million in lending at 0%.
