Ukraine could double the rate of economic growth in the short term against the backdrop of a slowdown in developed countries. This was stated by Satu Kakhkonen, World Bank Director for Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. She is convinced that the key to success is reform. "The most important, in our opinion, is land reform. The agricultural potential of Ukraine is huge. But a moratorium on the sale of agricultural land leads to the fact that Ukraine does not have an efficient land market ... The second reform should be overcoming corruption. The World Bank welcomes the submission to parliament of a draft law on an anti-corruption court ... Critical is also the reform of state enterprises. Without any steps in these areas, we do not think that a 4 percent increase is possible ". Analysts of the World Bank and Ukrainian experts consider factors that could affect the Ukrainian economy in the coming years, not only the course of reforms, but also geopolitical tensions in the region and the intensity of the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict in the Donbass.
