The establishment of the FEU’s Committee for strategic initiatives, investment and tax policy was announced during the business meeting of the Ukrainian Employers Annual Meeting, which took place on December 4 in Kyiv. Vitaliy Antonov, the founder of OKKO Group, became the chairman of the new committee.
“I cannot stop thinking that during our independence, unfortunately, a strong cluster of the business elite has not been formed. An association that would act regardless of changes in political sentiment in the country. The political force is changing – the vector of the movement is also changing… In some way, Ukrainians are even used to this phenomenon. Business in most cases is also forced to balance in these conditions. In my opinion, the Federation of Employers of Ukraine, which unites managers and owners of strong companies, those who create jobs, pay taxes, build the state economy, create its added value, attract investment, and have every right to become the same cluster.
At the business meeting, we talked a lot about how we want to see Ukraine and what we all need to do for this. As a result, they took responsibility and decided to set up a committee on strategic initiatives, investment and tax policy, which I was entrusted to head. Thank you for the trust of all FEU members. I am confident that in this way we will be more independent of the political situation and will build Ukraine exclusively on the basis of a market economy,” said Vitaliy Antonov.
The purpose of this meeting, which brought together employers from all over the country, heads of holdings and enterprises, leaders of regional and industry associations, was to sum up the year and discuss recommendations for the Government for 2020.
