Transformation and Post-War Economic Recovery of Ukraine


Book Description

Even before achieving victorious peace in the war against the Russian aggressor, the process of economic recovery has begun in Ukraine. The purpose of this monograph is to explore the possibilities of the post-war revival of the main sectors of the Ukraine’s economy based on positive world experience and advanced technologies. To obtain practically applicable results, highly qualified researchers from various universities and research centres of Ukraine were involved. The main focus of the monograph is the study of the problems of the transformation and post-war reconstruction of the economy and it is mainly intended for potential practical participants in these processes. However, the authors are convinced that it will be interesting and useful to all researchers analysing the transformations of complex economic systems. Methodological approaches and practical recommendations can be adapted to the specifics of a country that is solving the problems of transformation and building an economic model that would correspond to new geostrategic realities.

Enhancing Resilience by Boosting Digital Business Transformation in Ukraine


Book Description

Digital technologies not only offer a vast potential to enhance firm productivity, they can also help enhance resilience and support economic recovery in times of war. The government has made significant strides in accelerating the digital transformation and has reinforced support for digitalisation since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. While digital technologies have brought significant benefits to the country, Ukraine’s SMEs are yet to fully tap into the potential of digitalisation. Beyond war-related challenges, lack of awareness, digital skills shortages, sectoral specificities, and financial constraints complicate their digital development. The government aims to further promote SME digitalisation and is currently preparing its SME Strategy 2024-27. Throughout 2023, the OECD provided guidance to Ukraine on how to help SMEs leverage digitalisation for productivity, resilience, and recovery. This report presents an overview of the findings, looking at i) ways to strengthen the national and subnational institutional and policy framework for SME digitalisation; ii) avenues for targeted digitalisation support services for SMEs, building on the OECD’s blueprint; and iii) specific ways digitalisation can help SMEs weather war-related challenges.
