Ukraine Sector Competitiveness Review (2012)

This review of competitiveness and private sector development in the Ukraine includes diagnosis and policy actions for policy makers, offering policy responses to underpin economic diversification and enhance competitiveness.

The Ukraine Sector Competitiveness Strategy outlines reform priorities for three sectors with a high pote‌ntial for attracting investment: agribusiness, machinery and transport manufacturing, and alternative energies.

Key findings and recommendations include:

‌improving investment policy and promotion, by streamlining for example administrative procedures, or implementing a single-window approach for investors;

aligning human capital skills with the needs of that sector (e.g. entrepreneurship know-how; financial literacy; and technical skills);

further developing institutional services, such as credit information services, collateral registration, and market information services.
