Will workers return to Ukraine for grants and soft loans?
Will workers return to Ukraine for grants and soft loans?23.04.2021The Government of Ukraine offers to grant the migrant workers who will return home up to UAH 150,000 for their own business and interest-free loans for up to 5 years. Such bonuses will be available provided that the individual invests in his business at least the same amount as the State.

Would this offer help to bring workers back from abroad? According to business representatives and economists, on the one hand, the authorities are striking at the business in Ukraine by struggling for official employment as sole proprietors and fiscalization. At the same time, on the other hand, it is planned to grant taxpayers’ money to the migrant workers for them to start their own business. Moreover, very few people can create and develop their business. So this idea of grants and loans is unlikely to lead to the creating a significant number of new own businesses.
