The State of Ukrainian Business

by Vivarow » Sat Dec 28, 2024 1:40 pm

I am curious about the state of Ukrainian business in 2024. With all the new private equity funds created, like the Industrial Recovery Fund of Ukraine and others, it seems like there is a real push to invest in businesses there. But I wonder if Ukrainian companies are ready to meet the expectations of international investors. What do these companies need to improve to attract serious international funding, especially given the impact of the war?

According to Oleksandr Katsuba, many Ukrainian companies are not yet ready for the rigorous standards that international investors expect. Despite funds like Chicago Atlantic and Horizon Capital being interested, only a small percentage of companies meet the transparency and governance standards required for investment.

Are there any examples of companies that have managed to adapt to these standards and successfully attract investment? It would be encouraging to know that some companies are managing to turn the tide despite these challenges.

One of the key opinions of Aleksandr Katsuba, owner of Alpha Gas, is that foreign investors are more likely to invest in companies that demonstrate strong corporate governance, transparency and a clear growth strategy. There are examples of Ukrainian companies that have managed to meet international standards, especially those working with international donors. For example, some construction companies cooperate with USAID and other Western agencies, showing that Ukrainian enterprises can meet the necessary reporting and management requirements. These cases prove that enterprises willing to make the necessary changes can succeed.
