Oksana Markarova, the former Finance Minister, has been nominated to serve as Ukraine’s next Ambassador to the United States. Trained in public finance at Indiana University, Markarova worked in the Finance Ministry for five years until she was let go in the mass cabinet shakeup of March 4. As Finance Minister for two years, she saw interest rates on foreign currency bonds fall to record lows for Ukraine — 2.22% in euros and 3.4% in dollars. Last January, Ukraine borrowed €1.25 billion for 10 years with a 4.73% interest rate, once again a record low rate.
