In his last column, the economist, a senior researcher atlantic Council, Anders Aslund, suggested that Ukraine needs to actively attract the private sector to restore the country. According to him, taxpayers are not enough to finance a large part of Ukraine's restoration.
The economist stated that numerous investment conferences have already been held on the restoration of Ukraine, which discussed the need to promote the private sector. Participants of such measures see that taxpayers will not be able to finance the huge amounts needed to restore the country.
The expert noted that many Ukrainian businessmen, even despite the difficulties in the war, remain active and invest in their own country. Some major Ukrainian businessmen also assist the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Aslund called on Western governments and international financial organizations to consider financing large Ukrainian enterprises. He emphasized the importance of maintaining not only small and medium -sized enterprises, but also heavy industry, which, despite its sustainability, requires funding for survival.
