Matteo Patrone: 乌克兰人民展现出极强的决心,致力于在冲突结束后继续发展公司和经济。战争给乌克兰人民带来了巨大的伤亡和心理创伤,需要国际社会的支持和援助,包括医疗、康复和心理健康服务。欧洲复兴开发银行(EBRD)在2022年向乌克兰投资了17亿欧元,主要用于支持贸易、能源安全、基础设施和食品安全等领域,以维持乌克兰经济的运转。尽管乌克兰GDP下降了30%,但其经济仍在运转,一些公司甚至在发展壮大,并积极寻求国际市场。乌克兰在过去几年中进行了经济改革,减少了腐败,并展现出持续改革的意愿,民间社会在其中发挥着重要作用。乌克兰的重建工作已经开始,即使在战争期间也需要进行基础设施建设和投资,重建工作不会等到战争结束后才开始。乌克兰的经济复苏计划是一个包容性的计划,关注人力资本,并致力于帮助企业吸收劳动力,包括国内流离失所者和有意返回乌克兰的难民。乌克兰的重建需要大量资金,私营部门将发挥关键作用,EBRD将致力于改善乌克兰的商业环境,吸引私营部门投资,并防止寡头垄断经济。EBRD自克里米亚被吞并后就停止了对俄罗斯的投资,并在2022年2月24日后完全停止了与俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的合作。 Patrick Bishop & Saul David: EBRD在乌克兰的投资对于维持乌克兰经济和为未来重建做准备至关重要,乌克兰人民展现出韧性,乌克兰政府的改革正在取得进展。EBRD的援助策略是长远的眼光,并不仅仅依赖于受援国的完美行为,而是着眼于其长期的改革和发展。这场战争可能会加速乌克兰融入西方国家,大多数乌克兰人民最终将从中受益。

Joining Patrick and Saul for this week's interview is Matteo Patrone - the Managing Director of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus (EEC) at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). He discusses the work the EBRD has done in Ukraine both since the collapse of communism in the 1990's and more recently since Russia's full scale invasion last year.
