Kyiv School of Economics had an honor to host Erik Berglof, EBRD Chief Economist, with informal presentation of the EBRD Transition Report for KSE students on April 1, 2014.

Main conclusions of the presentation:

1. Time is on the side of democracy and economic reform
2. The process can be slow, and some factors – like natural resource abundance – can hold it back
3. In the meantime countries can:

   • Foster international – trade and financial – integration
   • Strengthen regional competition and local accountability
   • Invest in human capital and institutions

Kyiv School of Economics expresses its gratitude to Erik Berglof for finding time for KSE students in his tough schedule. We will be happy to see him at the school again!
