 NewsRSSEBRD to invest up to $1 billion in Ukraine in 2015 if reforms made
3 of July 2015 г.
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development plans to invest up to $1 billion in Ukraine this year, including gas sector, under conditions of reforms conduction.
This was announced by EBRD President Suma Chakrabarti in an interview with foreign media in Kyiv on Thursday, Censor.NET reports citing Reuters. The EBRD pumped a record $1.2 billion into Ukrainian projects in 2014, but has invested only $100 million so far this year, holding off until it is convinced of progress.
He flagged the energy, banking and judicial sectors as areas that required particular attention.
The EBRD, together with other international financial institutions, is meeting the Ukrainian energy ministry next week to discuss lending for gas supplies.
"Next week's discussions are crucial. After that we also have to work out the reforms that are linked to this," Chakrabarti said.
If Ukraine meets the required targets, the amount the EBRD will invest in the energy sector this year "will be a large part of the ($1 billion) number," he said.
However, the government has yet to fulfill a promise to break up the company into separate businesses managing gas production, sales and supply.
It has closed more than 50 banks over the past 18 months, but 114 are still in operation and Chakrabarti said Ukraine "still has far too many banks which are in our view the personal piggy-banks of oligarchs," adding it would be a "great thing" if there were no more than 50.
