22 September , 2017  

KYIV. Sept 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko regards the successful placement of Ukrainian eurobonds on the international markets as a show of economic support for reforms conducted by the country.
After a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York on Thursday, the Ukrainian president said he had discussed with his American counterpart in detail the economic cooperation between the two states.
“It’s nice to note the success of the first placement of Ukrainian sovereign bonds on international markets and the high demand for Ukrainian securities. Investors are voting for the success and belief in Ukrainian reforms with their dollars. I was pleased that a large number of these investors were American companies,” Poroshenko said.
He noted that such companies as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan organized the deal.
“And this is also a form of belief and confidence in the success of Ukrainian reforms – not only from the U.S. authorities, but also from American business,” Poroshenko stressed.
