    4. The General Director of the Group of Financial Solutions Group tells about what to prepare for Ukrainian business in 2019 and gives advice on behavior in a predictable environment:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      – The expected next tranche of the IMF. We still need to rely on our own strength, and not be on the constant maintenance of anyone. In business, you come to this through the definition of clear strategies, optimization of business processes, and, as a consequence, the gradual abandonment of lending and external financial injections. It is important to conduct financial diagnostics of the business in order to understand what risks exist, how to prevent them and strengthen the financial balance of the company.<\/p>\n

      – According to experts, even a 10% decline in prices for the main export products – metal, grain, can lead to a fall by 3% of Ukrainian GDP. In such cases, it is worth thinking about the diversification of business and the search for new sources of income, to calculate the prospects in advance.<\/p>\n

      – We could have developed infrastructure and logistics for a long time. We have long been able to switch to energy efficient technologies and get rid of gas dependence. We have lagged behind the world for many years and we need to make up for it. And you need to start with yourself – with a view of personal and business strategies, optimization of business processes, the organization of new jobs and decent remuneration of young people, leaving the country in masse.<\/p>\n
