On February 17, the Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine Oleksiy Sobolev met with the Chairman of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission Oleksiy Semenyuk. They talked about commodity markets and capital markets – a resource that was now extremely necessary for the recovery and growth of business and attracting capital.
“It is important for us to build transparent commodity markets. This will allow us to create honest price indicators, avoid monopolies and provide equal access to all market participants,” the minister noted.
The parties discussed work on reforming the capital market, strengthening its institutionality and filling it with new instruments – both stocks and bonds. This will help create a culture of investment among the population and keep money in the Ukrainian economy.
Among other promising topics, attention was paid to virtual assets and the problem of pricing biofuels to stimulate this market.
The parties agreed to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation between the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine and the National Securities and Markets Commission of Ukraine, as well as to form a working group to work on the issues raised. (Economy Ministry)
