But they are ready to invest funds in high technologies and agrarian sector, UBR reports.
Investors are not hurrying to purchase the assets of banks, located in Ukraine. They decided to expect for developments around next tranches of IMF and improvement of the situation of Ukrainian economy, Managing Director and Chairman of the Board of Citibank Steven Fisher told UBR.ua.
“I still do not see any particular interest from western investors in Ukrainian banks. Though the situation in economy is better than last year, unfortunately, it is not sufficient. Probably, next year, the situation will change”, - he said.
Meanwhile, Fisher noted that sooner or later the investors will draw their attention at banks with foreign capital, because their operational system is more understandable and familiar to them. And the financial institutions with national and Russian capitals need to work on their services – foreign investors still show minimum interest in their assets.
In its turn, President of the American Chamber of Commerce Andy Gunder confirmed that western investors show minimum interest in banking sector. However, they are ready to invest funds in other sectors of Ukrainian economy: informational technologies, agro-industrial complex as well as others.
