Presentation of the Ukraine Reform Tracker by Economist Impact
With the aim of stimulating and supporting discussion at the 2022 Ukraine Recovery Conference, Economist Impact presents the Ukraine Reform Tracker. The Tracker analyses the state of reforms in Ukraine across four key areas: economic reforms, environmental and energy reforms, social reforms and governance reforms (mirroring the key themes of the conference). The Tracker includes a policy brief for each reform area, with an assessment of: 1) reform progress since 2014; 2) the resilience of reforms in 2022; and 3) the outlook for reform, with a focus on the role that reforms will play in facilitating Ukraine's recovery. These policy briefs are accompanied by an interactive data story that visualises the key trends in Ukraine's reform progress since 2014.
