Ukraine has a “unique chance” to make free-market changes that will more than double its growth rate to 7% a year, Anders Åslund, an economist with decades of experience with Ukraine, writes on the Atlantic Council UkraineAlert blog site. Calling for Zelenskiy to establish “rule of law and property rights,” Aslund says: “Ukraine should grow by 7% a year given that Ukraine has gained access to the big European market. Ukraine needs to raise its investment ratio from 20% of GDP to 28-30% of GDP to grow that fast.”
