On December 6, 2007 the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors endorsed a Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) for Ukraine covering the period of 2008-2011. The CPS outlines the priorities for the Bank Group’s engagement through lending and investments, analytical and advisory services, and technical assistance.
The strategy proposes a lending range of US$ 2-6 billion over four years, with annual lending levels modulated by a series of performance benchmarks, including progress in structural reforms, macroeconomic stability and improvements in the implementation of existing World Bank loans. In addition, the International Finance Corporation will continue to invest significant resources to support the private sector in Ukraine.
Analytical and advisory services will be a growing and central component of the new strategy. This includes research into specific development challenges of Ukraine but also hands-on advice and technical assistance, including through IFC’s expanded advisory services
