Entrepreneurs support further deregulation: relevant decisions will be made promptly by Cabinet of Ministers - Svyrydenko

Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko announced a meeting with representatives of Ukrainian business on Saturday, emphasizing that business stands for further deregulation, and the necessary decisions will be promptly developed together with business representatives and adopted without delay.

"It was a frank and constructive conversation about how the economy works in times of war and what is needed to maintain its sustainability. During the meeting, business representatives clearly voiced their request for further deregulation. The government has already implemented a number of relevant decisions and is ready to move forward - we are further deregulating all processes where possible, especially in the field of connections to energy networks," she wrote in a Telegram post following the meeting.

Svyrydenko said that the necessary decisions would be promptly developed together with business representatives and adopted without delay.

"Attempts to delay or sabotage, in particular by energy companies, regional power distribution companies and regional gas companies, will have consequences - personal responsibility. We count on business and work as partners," she emphasized.

"We will continue such meetings in different formats and areas to maintain a direct dialog with business," Svyrydenko said.
