On October 30, 2019, EasyBusiness and the Reanimation Package of Reforms Coalition will hold the Forum: “LIFE AFTER: Key Aspects of the Land Market Launch in Ukraine,” where policymakers, key market players and civil society experts will discuss the situation around the opening of the land market and its prospects.
