Ukraine has made significant progress in reforming its economy, but it takes a few more years to fully modernize. This was stated by the director of the banking house Rothschild in Kiev Giovanni Salvetti. "Significantly (advanced in reform - ed.. ), but it takes several more years to implement and implement the key reforms necessary for the full modernization of the Ukrainian economy, "said Salvetti. Among the main successes of the Ukrainian government, the representative of the banking house Rothschild called the reforms of the energy sector and Naftogaz, as well as automatic and transparent VAT refund. "The most effective are the reforms of the energy sector and Naftogaz. They were certainly sensitive to the population, who now has to pay high tariffs, but the reform was needed to ensure transparency and modernization in this sector. This reform effectively destroyed one of the traditional and most relevant areas of corruption, which was associated with the shadow schemes of gas trading. Secondly, automatic and transparent VAT refunds immediately solved one of the most important problems for exporters, and also probably killed the second largest area of ??corruption. These are the two main sources of corruption, which are now neutralized, "said Salvetti. He also noted that the purification of the banking system was extremely important, since this is the basis for greater transparency of the banking sector and a key condition for the development of the economy. In addition, a major achievement for certain areas of public procurement was the ProZorro system.

At the same time, the biggest failure of the Ukrainian reforms, Salvetti called the political struggle and the use of populism by some political forces. "Such a dramatic situation, which in recent years has been observed in Ukraine, aimed at gaining popularity, rather than solving pressing problems. The implementation of radical reforms requires a high level of responsibility and unity between political forces if they are really concerned about the future of their country, "he stressed..
