Problems and prospects for privatization
THIS YEAR A number of Ukrainian companies are expected to undertake IPOs in the local and international equity markets. "Two years ago, if you had asked a Ukrainian company if they were going to do an IPO they would have asked ‘Why, what’s the point?’ but now companies are finally realizing the necessity, and the potential gains, of the capital markets," says Andrei Bogdanov, head of Ukraine research at Troika Dialog, an independent Russian investment bank that opened an office in Kiev last year.
