Perspectives and Policy for Ukraine’s Post-war Economy. What should be done after the Russian aggression is over?

For more than a year, the Russian Federation has been conducting an unprecedented attack on neighbouring Ukraine. This war in Eastern Europe has consequences for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, the European Union, and the whole world. With the invasion, Russia has transformed both the social and economic situation of Ukraine, and the international political and economic order.  

Paradoxically, the economic collapse that Ukraine is currently experiencing, additionally compounded by the lack of in-depth economic reforms in the early decades of independence, has created a unique opportunity for a deep economic transformation. Ukraine has a chance to launch into a new stage of development, after overcoming Russian aggression. 

What should be Ukraine’s economic policy at the end the war? What strategic goals should the Ukrainian government set for itself? How can it take advantage of the unprecedented support of public opinion for reforms and European integration? What negative phenomena and trends need to be countered in order for these reforms to succeed? 

These questions will be addressed by participants in the debate. The event will take place on April 25 at 3:00 pm in Auditorium VII of the SGH Warsaw School of Economics.
