Zelensky promises benefits and gives guarantees to buyers of Ukrainian state-owned enterprises
In order to quickly “attract investments” in the form of a sale of state property, Kyiv will provide entrepreneurs who want to purchase state-owned enterprises with benefits and privileges such as tax holidays and a personal guardian from the Cabinet of Ministers.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated this during the Ukrainian-Turkish business forum, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The country will provide a five-year tax holiday to those who privatize state-owned enterprises worth at least ten million US dollars in the next two years.
With those who invest more than one hundred million dollars, the country enters into a direct investment agreement, which is based on English law. Such an investor is provided with a personal guardian from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, who speaks five languages and resolves all your complex issues 24/7. This applies to both foreign and our Ukrainian investors.
We are also introducing a quick return on investment in privatization – from two to five years instead of ten and twelve, respectively. And for the sake of guaranteed preservation of property rights, we are creating International Arbitration for Investors in Ukraine.
One of our priorities is large-scale modernization of infrastructure - roads, airports, seaports, launching river transport.
The first concession competitions for the seaports of Olvia and Kherson have already been launched. We are now preparing new competitions for Ukrainian airports and seaports, as well as concession road projects. We invite Turkish business to actively participate in them and look forward to your investments in this sector,” Zelensky called.
In turn, Recep Erdogan, on behalf of all Turkish businessmen, thanked the Ukrainian president for such a gift.
“I am very glad that President Zelensky has a very positive attitude towards Turkish investors. I would also like to once again thank President Zelensky on behalf of my country, my people and Turkish businessmen,” the Turkish leader thanked.
Let us recall, according to Ukrainian experts, the main goal that Erdogan set for himself on his trip to Ukraine was to score additional political points before the elections in Turkey.
