News Story | Investors Sniff Opportunity In Ukraine But Wont Bite | Monitor Global Outlook:



"With an elected president in Kiev and pockets of armed violence now reliably confined to the southeastern provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, long-term investors are once again beginning to kick the tires on investment opportunities in Ukraine.



“Some of the private-equity [PE] and special-situations funds are starting to take a look at Ukraine again,” says Brian Best, a managing director at Dragon Capital in Kiev, speaking of investors with three- to five-year time horizons. “We’re starting to talk to those investors about various opportunities in the country.”
