Prime Minister of
Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk stressed the need to adopt in Parliament a law
on transparent and fair privatization: "I hope the first object for
privatization will be the Odessa Port Plant", said the Head of
the Government at a meeting of the Financial Stability Council on
Friday, January 29.
"For the
Government it is crucial to set afloat the Ukrainian economy. And here it
is crucial to ensure the Ukrainian Parliament voting for the laws
enabling the transparent and fair privatization," he stressed,
noting that this is one of the principal ways of leveraging foreign
investment to Ukraine in 2016.
He noted that
after a few dozen attempts, on January 28, they had managed to support in
the first reading the law on fair and transparent privatization. The Prime
Minister expressed gratitude to MPs for they "provided
anopportunity to vote for this law, and this year to hold privatization
similar to that which took place almost ten years ago – the
privatization of the Kryvorizhstal.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk
expressed hope that number one would be the Odessa Port
Plant: "This privatization should become exemplary in terms of
attracting a real investor and getting the maximum price from selling the
facility."
"On the one
hand, it means hundreds of millions of dollars for the Ukrainian
budget, to ensure economic boost. On the other, it means investment flows,
new jobs and new standards of company management
whenprivatized", said the Head of Government.
