Paradoxically, foreign
investment in Ukraine more effectively brought under President Yushchenko and
Prime Minister Tymoshenko in 2005 than under President Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk
premiere in 2014-2015.
And it is not because
there is a war. And not because that we have a bureaucracy. Our natural
resources and the production of raw materials - are very attractive and cost
effective for any investor. If tomorrow announce a contest for the deposits of
investors in the mining and processing plants, then Ukraine will turn the
world's largest financial and industrial groups.
Ukraine is a leading
global supplier of titanium raw materials on the world market - if you fly
"Boeing", you know - titanium in their structure is made of Ukrainian
raw materials. Ukraine occupies the 3rd place in the world reserves of
zirconium oxide. We have 10% of the world's uranium reserves.
The best allies of
Ukraine - foreign investors. Putin is not strong PR-technologies - in the
Russian Federation under a totalitarian and cave-level development of the
society built a state-organized structure. Russia has something to offer to
Western business elites - joint projects, access to its domestic market. In
Ukraine, there is no work with investors, Ukraine remains a wild field.
Friendship with Ukraine
should have not only the geopolitical and democratic motives for us to survive
- is to create a pragmatic interest for cooperation with Ukraine. Ukraine
should be more profitable to do business than Russia.
Top lobbyists in the
capitals of the EU and the United States - these are the major international
corporations, we need to open access to their markets and their resources -
hard and transparent investment tender. After 10 years, the highest level of
social guarantees and wages, the highest level of funding of trade unions - to
privatize "Krivorozhstal". Pinchuk and Akhmetov, who are citizens of
Ukraine are paid less salary workers spend less on social security, and pay
less taxes to the budget than the "ArcelorMittal" in the steel
industry. The Indians and the French proved to be more effective owners, and
this was possible only because they "Kryvorizhstal" was sold at
auction, and not presented on the left-hand circuits.
Therefore, if the
Ukrainian government wants to ensure the security of the state, we must abandon
the "agreements" with the oligarchs - have to take the directors -
"sixes" state-owned enterprises attractive to investors as quickly as
possible to put them to the competition.
Look at the Odessa Port
Factory - it has strategic value because of the ammonia pipe and once the
Ukrainian authorities said that put it on the competition because the market
immediately expressed interest. This competition can not be delayed - the
privatization of the SCR to be a showcase of the system changes in Ukraine,
very fast and a model of the conditions of competition that will change the
attitude of investors.
The privatization of
strategic enterprises for national security - is the main task of the
authorities. When I hear again in the interests of the officials in the
government and the Presidential Administration of change of directors in the
uranium and titanium holding company, and not a word about the timing of
privatization, I understand feudalism and corruption have not gone anywhere,
and economic reforms paralyzed. Want to know how Yatsenyuk and Poroshenko
effectively attract foreign investors - look under "privatization of
strategic enterprises." While there is - zero.
