TRANSFORMING BUSINESS STRATEGY IN CONDITIONS OF NEW CHALLENGES FOR UKRAINE

Foreign investors lose interest in Ukrainian assets owing to the country’s political risks and escalating problems with sovereign debt.

We transform our business strategy and focus on strengthening our expertise on local markets, becoming financial adviser in restructuring debt, M&A, and attracting debt financing internally. At the same time, we remain active on international markets, becoming the first Ukrainian investment bank that successfully restructured the Eurobonds of a Ukrainian issuer (Ukrzaliznytsia).
