2020 is not just the start of a new year, it is the end of the decade. As the decade comes to a close, Ukraine has a new president, a new political party with an overall majority in parliament, also new, and whose mission is to deliver real change and modernization. There have indeed been dark times over the last decades and now we have every reason to believe that the sacrifices, courage and determination of Ukrainians will result in the nation moving towards its potential.

Ukraine is changing massively. I compare my first coming here in 2014 actually in the spike of the very complex geopolitical situation and coming here now, five years later. I see the dramatic changes that happened with the growth of the country, with the smiles on the faces of the people, what makes one of the big observation I have about Ukrainians – you are very resilient to the challenges you face and take it with a smile and the optimistic look forward. For 2020 our task is to continue attracting, retaining and developing best talents who can take care of our dynamically growing business.

2019 has been extraordinary for Ukraine. Monumental change in the political landscape was followed but the rapid advance of an agenda of reforms, upwards revision of economic forecasts, a renewed commitment by international lenders and – not least at all - Ukraine going through to the Euro 2020 finals as first in their group. My wish for 2020 is that we continue to make the best of the positive momentum and use the leverage of the chamber to improve the quality of life for people in Ukraine!
