He noted the main directions of development of the energy sector and said that currently DTEK implements a large number of projects for the restoration of power plants, and is engaged in the development of wind energy and renewable energy sources.

Mykyta Mozharovskyi also emphasized the significant shortage of specialists in the energy sector and the importance of cooperation with international partners.

🗣️Lev Partskhaladze, President of the CBU, spoke about the difficulties, which construction industry is currently facing the and pointed out the areas in which Polish business can join.

"Thousands of houses in Ukraine have been destroyed, cities have been destroyed. We need a big recovery. We want to build modern houses. First of all, we need technology. There is already a shortage of personnel in the construction industry, despite the active increase in female employees," said Lev Partskhaladze.

🍃 The President of the CBU emphasized the importance of the development of industrial parks in Ukraine and noted that currently, according to the new law, the state provides certain benefits to manufacturers who seek to locate the production of construction materials on the territory of industrial parks, in particular:

🔸non-payment of import fair and VAT on equipment;

🔸non-payment of income tax for 10 years, subject to reinvestment;

🔸preferential tax rate on real estate and land.

🏗️ Also, Lev Partskhaladze informed about the lack of construction materials in Ukraine. Thus, in Ukraine, the greatest need is currently in the production of glass, finishing materials, cement and concrete.
