United States outlines conditions for participation in Ukrainian privatization

American companies and investment funds take a lively interest in privatization of Ukraine’s state-owned enterprises in virtually all sectors of the economy. However, it is necessary to provide transparent and competitive conditions for the Americans to participate.

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch said this in an interview with NV Ukrainian news site.

"There is much interest in Ukrainian privatization [on part of American companies and investment funds]. The main thing is that it should be open, transparent and competitive. Americans will be interested in participating in the auctions under these conditions," Yovanovitch said.

According to the ambassador, American companies are interested in almost all sectors of the economy, paying special attention to the Ukrainian agriculture and energy sectors.
