How close are we to the EU? Overview of economic reforms over the past year

Recently, the European Commission published a new Enlargement Report assessing candidate countries’ readiness for EU accession and their progress over the past year. Since November 2023, Ukraine has implemented a significant number of reforms. However, the readiness assessment across most chapters remains unchanged.

During the event, we examined the areas of economic reform where Ukraine has achieved significant progress, as well as those where advancement has been less pronounced. Additionally, we discussed the impact of European integration on Ukraine’s economic growth and the key challenges that lie ahead.

Additionally, we traditionally reviewed the main changes in the country’s economy over the past month.

◾️ Alberto Fernandez-Diez, Head of Trade and Economic Section, EU Delegation to Ukraine;
