Vjačeslavs Dombrovskis
 Duration: 90 min
  Language: English, Ukrainian

Description:

At the workshop you will learn about:

  • The EU: what it will – and will not – do for Ukraine’s economy
    Why joining the EU helps, but does not automatically deliver growth, fairness, or good policy choices.
  • Free markets vs. an active state: who should do what?
    From the “Washington Consensus” to industrial policy – and what kind of state Ukraine actually needs.
  • Confessions of a former Economy Minister
    Why well-meant economic ideas often fail once politics, interests, and real-world constraints take over.
