Some e-services will be available for foreign citizens

Some e-services will be available for foreign citizens, according to Alexander Bornyakov, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister for Digital Transformation. Speaking at the 2019 Ukrainian Wealth Management Forum in Kyiv, Bornyakov said that his team is working on creating new services such as e-residency and banking from abroad, which could be used by repatriates and foreign entrepreneurs. President Zelenskiy has promised to deliver “the state in a smartphone” which is aimed at digitizing all critical state services. Earlier this year, the president noted that Ukraine lags behind much of the rest of the ex=USSR n the development of e-governance.
