He presented an overview of changes in income, political and property rights and other indicators in the countries of Eastern Europe, the Balkans and former Soviet Union within 25 year-period. According to him, even after 25 of transition in a number of countries, including Russia and Ukraine, the oligarchs still control not just business life but also public life, which prevented major political and economic changes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The presentation is available here:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/4FTS8tFBV2yw2q\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<div><i>&#8220;The one reform that is the most difficult to figure out how to do in Ukraine, is reducing the role of the oligarchs,&#8221;<\/i> Mr.Djankov said. He also emphasized that macroeconomic stabilization, privatization and lustration should be the priorities on Ukraine\u2019s government reform agenda now.<i> &#8220;If you can privatize in the first six months of you in power, regardless of how you do it, that&#8217;s the most successful reform you can do,&#8221;<\/i> he said. To stabilize the currency and stop devaluation he recommended to introduce the currency board in Ukraine. \u00a0<i>\u201cCurrency board can work even in the countries, which are highly corrupt.
