The event is aimed at developing Ukraine’s business environment, discussing issues of micro and macroeconomics, monetary policy and the overall economic situation in Ukraine amidst significant historical challenges.
Today, 24 May, the Spring Business Forum is taking place in Lviv. The event brings together representatives of executive authorities and local governments, leading banking institutions, and successful entrepreneurs interested in Ukraine’s economic development.
Stepan Kuibida, Head of the Economic Policy Department of the Lviv Regional State Administration, welcomed the participants.
“Today I would like to congratulate you and thank you on behalf of the head of the Lviv Regional Military District Administration, Maksym Kozytskyi. First of all, for being resilient, no economic crisis, the outbreak of war, covid, or a full-scale invasion has broken you. I thank you for your faith in the state, for not waiting for change, but for being the change. Yes, it is difficult today, but as the message of our forum goes, “We keep the line – we believe in victory.” Of course, the enemy will always work against us, but when we meet at such platforms, we can share our difficulties and successful cases – we are capable of progressing despite everything. Today, we have a lot of cool cases in various industries: production of modern equipment, upgrading the material and technical base of vocational schools, etc. – changes are happening and I wish to share this with you today, get interesting information, and perhaps ideas and suggestions,” he said.
