On May 20, the Head of the State Agency for Investments, Sergey Yevtushenko and the President of the Chinese Business Association, Alexander Gromyko, discussed the details of the implementation of these Ukrainian-Chinese projects.
“Domestic production for Ukraine is now the most urgent problem, because for eight consecutive years, import of foreign goods exceeds our exports. For 2013, the trade deficit was $ 13.652 billion. Undoubtedly, such a negative indicator poses a critical threat to the economic security of Ukraine, “said Yevtushenko.
According to the head of the Agency, China has been considering our country as a strategic partner for a long time. Therefore, after signing the long-awaited political section of the Association with the European Union, and later, as the first result of cooperation with the EU, the abolition of customs duties on Ukrainian goods, the leading countries of the world were interested in Ukraine as a potential platform for attracting investments and development of production. And one of the first in this list is China.
“The State Investment Project and its unit InvestUkraine as a mechanism of maintenance of the investor at the administrative level will in every way promote the Chinese companies in the implementation of the construction of factories in Ukraine within the framework of the national project” Industrial Parks “, – added S. Yevtushenko.
The President of the Chinese Business Association said that the dynamic development of the northern regions of China has led enterprises to start experiencing a sharp shortage of labor and the ability to intensively develop production in their territories.
“Chinese investors need three factors in placing their production – this is access to EU markets, which we already have, the presence of relatively inexpensive labor and basic infrastructure on land industrial sites, which allows us to quickly start the construction of factories,” – said O. Gromyko . – In addition, Chinese companies do not need government support in the form of state guarantees and other benefits. However, they are important for the lack of unnecessary bureaucratic procedures and support and promotion at the level of local authorities. ”
O. Gromyko also suggested holding a series of joint activities with the Chinese business community, in particular in China, to review the investment opportunities of Ukraine to leading Chinese companies, as well as in Ukraine, in order to visualize these companies the industrial platforms for business development.
As a result of the meeting, the Chinese business association Derzhinvestproekt agreed to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation.
