Dragon Capital Holds 12th Annual Ukraine Investor Conference
Dragon Capital held its 12th Annual Ukraine Investor Conference on March 10-11 in Kyiv. The event gathered close to 300 guests —more than 100 international investors, local investors as well as top management of leading Ukrainian companies, who took the opportunity to gain fresh insights into the economic and political situation in Ukraine and communicate directly with government officials, representatives of international financial institutions and the country’s largest companies in order to make investment decisions.

Tomas Fiala, CEO of Dragon Capital, commenting on Ukraine’s current environment and Dragon’s latest activities , said: “The Ukrainian economy bottomed in the second quarter in 2015 and the peak of the military aggression is fortunately also behind us. At the end of 2015 Dragon Capital launched a new private equity fund with Soros Fund Management and plans to deploy most of the committed capital this and next year. By that I want to illustrate that we are not just talking but putting our money where our mouth is. We feel cautiously optimistic for various reasons that the country is on the right path.”
The conference program featured a keynote speech by the speaker of Ukrainian parliament followed by panel discussions attended by government ministers, the National Bank governor, the CEO of Naftogaz Ukrainy, and representatives of Ukraine’s major Western creditors and partners including the U.S., the EU, the IMF and the EBRD. The conference sessions also included a panel discussion on Ukrainian civil society and fight against corruption, attended by Odessa Regional Administration head and former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili.
