President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky held a meeting with representatives of business, during which they discussed the topic of state reconstruction, the tax sphere, as well as the creation of a coordination tool.
“The meeting with representatives of business. A lot of pressing topics. Opportunities for the state to stimulate economic activity. The program “єOsel” and business participation. Recovery topics. Tax sphere and opportunities to reform it. Inspections. Law enforcement. Coordination and communication for the sake of problem solving. Useful business proposal to create a coordination tool,” Zelensky wrote in his Telegram channel on Thursday.
The president said that the main priority at the moment is the victory of Ukraine in the war.
“The main priority is always the strength of Ukraine. Thanks to everyone and everyone who adds strength to Ukraine, who keeps and creates new jobs, who strengthens our economy and helps develop our institutions,” Zelensky said.
According to the press service of the Ukrainian head of state, during the meeting Zelensky said that the priority in the reconstruction of Ukraine will be the participation of Ukrainian and foreign business, which worked and continues to work, especially during the war.
“But the doors will be open to many companies. We need hundreds and thousands of companies to come to us,” Zelensky said.
Also during the meeting, the parties agreed on joint efforts to reduce business problems from law enforcement agencies, as well as the prospect of forming a tax sphere and strengthening the effectiveness of bodies that should stimulate economic development and provide support for investments.
In turn, business representatives proposed the establishment of a coordination platform for communication on the protection of business rights and consideration of other issues. Zelensky supported this initiative and also offered to jointly decide on the format of the work.
“It is very important to create a platform on which we would constantly talk. Because we cannot accumulate problems for years: we simply will not be able to overcome them later,” the president stressed.
