Ukraine started 2005 with a new government, a new President, and an impetus for rapid economic change and has the opportunity to become a significant player in the world’s marketplace in the very near term. Having demonstrated an unprecedented level of GDP growth averaging 6% over the past several years, it is clear that a vital and thriving market is evolving in Ukraine. The natural extension of such progressive economic development is the pursuit of new markets. In order to access new markets, companies recognize the need to raise additional capital. Today, many Ukrainian companies face a growth dilemma: they have the potential to develop and succeed in a wider market, but lack both the managerial and the financial capacity to realize their potential.
