Business
Ombudsman Algirdas Semeta for Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Initiative
estimates the financial impact of the work of the Business Ombudsman
Council for Ukraine at roughly UAH 2.3 billion (around $100 million) since
its launch last May, according to a statement by the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
The Council
has received over 580 complaints from businesses, launched 340 investigations
and resolved over 48% of these cases, he told while on a visit to the EBRD.
Ukraine is
stepping up its efforts to combat corruption and improve its business environment and
a central element of this campaign is its Business Ombudsman Council.
The Council is
funded by the EBRD-Ukraine Stabilisation and Sustainable Growth Multi-Donor
Account, which is supported by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United
States.
