"This is excellent news for ProZorro and yet another international recognition of its performance. We hope we will see the first tenders of the World Bank on ProZorro [platform] as early as in a few months, and the Ukrainian business will be able to take part in them publicly," Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade Maksym Nefyodov said.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said the ProZorro public e-procurement system had allowed Ukraine to save UAH 19.1 billion, or US$742.6 million, of budget funds since August 1, 2016, due to reducing prices as a result of competition.

Ukraine's Economic Development and Trade Ministry plans to save UAH 50 billion, or $1.9 billion, in 2017 due to ProZorro.
