  • Annual Report 2014
    Annual Report 2014 Annual Report 2014 National Bank of Ukraine National Bank of Ukraine 1 Annual Report 2014 Dear ladies and gentlemen, The year 2014, which was full of dramatic events in all areas of the country’s social and economic life, is now history. Old, unresolved economic problems, such as persistent budget and balance of payments deficits, weak fiscal policy, an ailing energy sector that has gone unreformed for years and a steep decline in the health of banks in the wake of significant deposit outflows - all were evident at the very start of the year. That, together with external aggression, posed great challenges for the National Bank in all of the priority lines of its activity - monetary policy, banking regulation and supervision, providing support for banks, cash circulation and financial infrastructure. This created the need for radical and multidimensional action. Monetary policy required fundamental changes on a top priority basis. In this light, the National Bank made a painful but an absolutely necessary decision to adopt a flexible exchange rate regime as early as the start of the year. A market-based exchange rate prevents economic shocks and is beneficial for the balance of payments current account. In spite of that, in the reporting year, the country was hit by two waves of devaluation resulting from the unwillingness to take the unpopular step to stop maintaining a stable hryvnia exchange rate by artificial means in previous more favorable years, delayed reforms in other economy sectors, as well as an ongoing military conflict. The National Bank had to impose certain restrictions, raise the refinancing rate, and use other monetary policy tools in order to ease high inflation and devaluation pressure.

De Boelelaan 1105, 1081HV Amsterdam; The Netherlands *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] This paper investigates whether and how patronage networks affect the progress of socio-political reforms at the local level in Ukraine. It contributes in three ways to the study of networks and transitions of socio-political orders: first, it provides rich empirical study using primary (interview) and secondary data; second, it focuses on the local rather than national level and analyses three understudied cases of networks (Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Ivano-Frankivsk); third, theoretically it relates the studies of patronage networks in post-communist setting to a broader framework of limited access orders. Our findings show that although multiplicity of networks might be a necessary condition for the opening of access to political and economic resources, it is not a sufficient one. Also, the presence of multiple networks is not necessary for high level of citizen satisfaction with public goods provision—a single dominant network might achieve a relatively high level of citizen satisfaction too. Keywords: local networks; Ukraine; patronage; limited access orders; satisfaction with public goods provision 1 1. Introduction Social networks are ubiquitous in social, economic, and political life (Collier 2016, 10).

  • Introduction
    Introduction Janusz Szyrmer HARVARD/CASE UKRAINE PROJECT This monograph is part of a series of books covering various aspects of the decade of Eastern European transition, with a focus on Ukraine. The book’s chapters, as presented by their authors, are in fact the result of a collective effort – research, brainstorming sessions, and open seminars – on the part of Ukrainian and foreign economists associated with the Harvard/CASE Ukraine Project (HCUP). Several of the ideas in this volume have been presented before in the form of various analyses and recommendations to Ukrainian policymakers, and thus have already contributed, directly or indirectly, to Ukrainian policies and reforms. 1. Market of ideas Due to financial constraints, Ukraine’s capacity for actively supporting both basic and applied research and publications remains low. Professional books in economics and economic policy, including those on post-Soviet transition, remain in short supply. The importance of this research deserves attention and support from Ukrainian authorities and international donors.1 Reforms 1 In contrast to some other CEE countries, the number of books providing solid research on the Ukrainian transition is modest. These are important publications. However, international donors, willing to finance costly reforms, are not providing sufficient support for the acquisition and diffusion of the knowledge required for implementing the reforms. 2 Janusz Szyrmer undertaken in Ukraine are complex and expensive and, to be successful, require much conceptual and analytical effort.2 Comprehensive research publications, in addition to – but not instead of – detailed policy analysis papers and ad hoc policy notes, are needed to formulate and implement well designed reforms.
