Synopsis

This year all eyes are on Ukraine as the country goes to the polls twice. After electing a president in April, Ukraine will vote for a new parliament. This new government will be in charge of the Ukrainian economy for the next five years. This political change is unfolding as the Ukrainian economy is slowly recovering from the deep economic crisis of 2014-15, and is under the pressure of sovereign debt and an aggressive Russia. What are the main challenges for the Ukrainian economy in the coming years, and what should the new government do to meet these challenges? How could the EU and other international partners help in putting Ukraine on a path to sustainable economic growth?
