September 7: Ease of doing business. Rating of Ukrainian cities.

Entrepreneurs need 225 days to register a land plot for real estate facilities in Odesa. In Vinnitsa, the same procedures take only 93 days. Why is there such a difference in the registration of documents? How to change this?

For reference:

Regional Doing Business is a joint project of the BRDO Office and the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (SUP). The rating characterizes the investment climate and the attractiveness of cities.

This study is based on the World Bank methodology. For the first study, we considered five areas of interaction between entrepreneurs and local authorities, namely:

  • paying local taxes;
  • starting a business;
  • obtaining construction permits;
  • registering a land plot for real estate facilities;
  • connecting to electricity grids.

The main criteria of this evaluation were “money” and “time” spent on formal procedures, as well as the number of “visits” to state government bodies/local authorities.

We assessed regional centers and Kyiv, except for the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.

The presentation of the study “Ease of doing business. The rating of Ukrainian cities” will take place as part of the Days of Entrepreneurship – a series of events organized by the SUP that will be held in the largest cities of Ukraine (Kyiv, Dnipro, Lviv and Odesa) on September 3-8.

The GROU agency is the communication partner of the SUP and SUP’s Days of Entrepreneurship.
