Ukrainomics – Enhance the Economic Debate in Ukraine!

Ukrainomics – Enhance the Economic Debate in Ukraine!

#ukrainomics

Polis 180 and VoxUkraine (Kyiv) are implementing a project aiming at broadening and intensifying the economic debate in Ukraine. The Revolution of Dignity and War in Donbass have become a catalyst for serious transformations in society. However, Ukraine still lacks an intensive public discussion of the shortcomings and benefits of the proposed reformist course and its possible alternative options. An evidence-based analysis and an in-depth debate about economic and social policy will improve the quality of economic decisions in Ukraine and have a positive impact on the welfare of millions of Ukrainians. And it is crucial in terms of involving the population in the reform process. 

Within the framework of two workshops in Berlin and in Kyiv, we strive to look at the key problems of the Ukrainian economy from different perspectives, reasonably consider all the pros and cons of specific decisions, and introduce project participants to new economic concepts and debates.
