The main economic task of a second presidential term would be “overcoming poverty,” President Poroshenko told the American Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening. To get there, Ukraine needs foreign investment and decent paying jobs. “If you want to prevent people from going abroad, Ukraine should never again be the country of cheap labor,” he said. Ukraine should process more of its farm production, “become the country of the biggest number of startups,” and should increase tourism sevenfold, to 10% of GDP.
