After many years of mismanagement, Ukraine badly needs
reforms in nearly all areas. A key question is where to start and how to set
priorities. In the first week of September, VoxUkraine conducted a survey among
Ukrainian and international economists asking them to rank political and economic
reform priorities for Ukraine and comment on their choice. 30 responses were
received. Given the challenges currently faced by Ukraine, the majority of professional
economists suggest to follow an integral approach to ensure complementarily of
reforms and hence to improve outcomes. Survey results identify five clusters of
most urgent reforms.
