At this year\u2019s Kyiv International Economic Forum, Igor Liski, founder of the investment company EFI Group, moderated the discussion panel \u201cGlobal Capital for Ukrainian Business.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Speakers discussed openly what attracts investors, what holds them back, and how Ukraine can become a story of global success. Igor Liski emphasized the importance of the investment topic, noting that rebuilding the country requires substantial financial resources.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cWithout a strong economy, Ukraine cannot build strong security and defense.
\r\nInvestments must lie at the heart of any economic strategy because without them, there can be no development, and the country of our dreams will never emerge. At EFI Group, we\u2019ve spent over 20 years building a new industrial wave in Ukraine. Today, it\u2019s crucial to talk about a new philosophy of development, why Ukraine is attractive to investors, why it\u2019s worth investing, and how to find the courage to do it now. It\u2019s equally important to understand which projects are of interest to international financial institutions and how to make your own project investment-attractive. I\u2019m convinced that international players should join Ukrainian entrepreneurs who are already leading by example and showing they are not afraid to invest in Ukraine, said Igor Liski.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

    \r\n

    We all agreed on one thing: capital flows where there is trust, clear rules, and people ready to take responsibility. Ukraine can and must become such a magnet for global capital. This is not only about investments, it\u2019s about a new development philosophy where business, government, and international partners act as one team,\u00a0shared Igor Liski<\/strong>, founder of EFI Group<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
