Ukraine plans to implement a number of reforms envisaged by the Ukraine Facility program with the aim of strengthening the fight against corruption and improving legislation in the field of finance.
One of the key steps is the creation of a Unified register of bank accounts for individuals and legal entities, as well as an increase in the number of the High Anti-Corruption Court and the creation of the High Administrative Court. The plan also includes improvements to the provisions on plea agreements and the abolition of the pretrial investigation period.
These measures are intended to implement EU standards and ensure effective combating of money laundering and other types of economic crime.
As part of the plan, Ukraine will receive financial support from the European Union in the amount of 50 billion euros, of which 33 billion euros will be allocated in the form of loans during 2024-2027.
For the successful implementation of these measures, it is necessary to conduct a National Risk Assessment, introduce legislation on the registration of bank accounts and implement software and hardware for the Unified Register. The reform is expected to be completed by 2027.
These measures also include providing access to information for the European Anti-Fraud Office and other international organizations to effectively fight corruption and financial crimes.
Ukraine also plans to assess the necessary changes to legislation to provide access to information on corruption for international investigative organizations.
These steps are considered important to improve the judicial system and ensure transparency and accountability of the country's governance.
