President Zelenskiy called for higher economic growth when he addressed the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on July 3: “Growth of 2-3 percent a year is not satisfactory. We need a minimum of 5-7 percent per year. We know how to do that, which is why we are preparing for very serious structural reforms to increase the speed of growth….The potential influx of resources to the state budget of Ukraine from eradicating smuggling and corruption and legalizing the shadow economy is estimated by our team as high as $10 billion a year. We need this money to build up-to-date infrastructure for honest business, to improve the lives of Ukrainians and to defend our land from enemies.”
