For investors, it is an indicator of business climate; for internal audience, it is an opportunity to see the country from the perspective of foreigners and use the data for a more detailed research; for the Government, ratings help to measure policy efficiency in various fields, noted Volodymyr Kadygrob, managing partner of Zeitgeist Design and Natalia Popovych, co-founder of UCMC, President of One Philosophy Group of Companies \u2013 moderators of an expert discussion on \u201cUkraine in Global Ratings\u201d project at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cUkraine in Global Ratings\u201d is a common initiative of <\/em><em>Zeitgeist Design<\/em><em> studio, <\/em><em>VoxUkraine<\/em><em> and online-edition \u201cUkrainska Pravda\u201d, supported by <\/em><em>WNISEF <\/em><em>\u2013 Western NIS Enterprise Fund<\/em><em>. The project encompasses the key global indexes and ratings where Ukraine is present. The infographic allows to track how Ukraine\u2019s position has been changing in the years before and after Maidan and start of reforms. The analysis was conducted by VoxUkraine experts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe often refer to Ukraine\u2019s positions in several ratings, but sometimes it is mentioned without context. One rating is not sufficient to draft a realistic conclusion about the situation in the country. However, comprehensive analysis of multiple ratings gives understanding in which fields Ukraine has really seen change, due to reforms and human capital, and which fields remain the most challenging,\u201d explained Sevgil Musayeva-Borovyk, senior editor at \u201cUkrainska Pravda\u201d. \u201cI often hear people telling that here, from inside of the country, it seems to us that there is little change, while people from abroad say that a lot has changed. So these ratings show Ukraine\u2019s portrait from a foreign perspective,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOne rating can be quite subjective, it can be used for manipulations. This project shows Ukraine\u2019s positions across almost all representative ratings. It is an absolutely new idea, and this is, I think, the biggest advantage of this project\u201d, said Borys Davydenko, senior editor at VoxUkraine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project currently encompasses almost 40 global ratings and indexes, sorted into five groups: economy, freedom, corruption, state and human capital.\u00a0 The experts took into account other factors, such as changes in the number of participating countries in different years. \u00a0In Doing Business rating Ukraine improved its position from 90<sup>th<\/sup> in 2014 to 80<sup>th<\/sup> in 2016. In Human Depelopment Index, Ukraine\u2019s rating fell from 81th position in 2014 to 84<sup>th<\/sup> position in 2016. The most remarkable deterioration happened in the Legatum Prosperity Index (-12 positions in 2016), the best progress \u2013 in the <em>Global Competitiveness Index<\/em> (+11 in 2017, to 81th position of 137, according to World Economic Forum) and Paying Taxes Rating (+23 in 2016, to 84 th position of 190). For more information, see the website of the project: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pravda.com.ua\/cdn\/graphics\/ratings\/\"><strong>http:\/\/www.pravda.com.ua\/cdn\/graphics\/ratings\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u201c<\/strong>For me, KPIs are one of key elements of management. And ratings are one of types of KPIs, which measure situation in the country in various dimensions. \u00a0However, KPIs shouldn\u2019t be considered as a goal \u2013 it is a tool to measure \u201cfever\u201d: they help to understand what should be done in various fields in order to \u201ccure\u201d the situation in the country,\u201d noted Dmytro Shymkiv, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine.\u00a0\u201cWe surely need KPIs, because analysis is impossible without quantitative measurement. [\u2026] However, it is important to take into account all the ratings. That\u2019s why I believe this project is very important,\u201d noted Tymofiy Milovanov, Honorary President of the Kyiv School of Economics. \u201cMoreover, the project\u00a0shows that there are no simple answers. It is important for our society and the ongoing discussion about Ukraine\u2019s victories and failures. The opportunity to compare Ukraine\u2019s position in a variety of ratings would make this discussion more constructive,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The experts noted that a rating is not always objective: it depends on methodology, on state\u2019s attempts to improve its position through targeted but formal changes; it is necessary to consider correlation with other ratings in the interconnected fields. That\u2019s why it is very important to compare the data of many ratings, to see what countries are Ukraine\u2019s \u201cneighbors\u201d there, but also take into account the difference of the overall situation. Dmytro Shymkiv emphasized that a better position in the rating doesn\u2019t always mean positive change. For instance, excessive deregulation may result in worse security at workplaces and worse products security. The country should make a comprehensive analysis and find well-balanced solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Liubomyr Markevych, Communications Director at UkraineInvest, indexes are more important for internal audience. To form a positive image abroad, he says, Ukraine should tell more positive stories from those fields where it has achieved success, such as STEM, and improve its positions and education quality in those fields which are the most important in the contemporary world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe should pay attention to those indexes which could bring Ukraine into a category of \u201cbrand countries\u201d. That would help us to capitalize not only separate enterprises, but the whole country,\u201d added Volodymyr Lupatsiy, expert of the Social Research Center \u201cSofiya\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Comprehensive monitoring of Ukraine\u2019s positions in key global ratings is a useful tool both for investors and the state itself.
