Ukraine allows non-residents to lease state property

"The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine has registered an SPF order dated September 18, 2017, which gives non-residents the right to lease Ukrainian state-owned facilities. It will come into force soon, after publication in the government's official bulletin," Parfenenko wrote on Facebook.

In his words, the SPF's catalogue lists about 6,000 state-owned facilities for rent.

Today, there are 5,988 facilities on the list," the official wrote. "The Fund, in turn, will intensify the promotion of objects for rent," he added.

As UNIAN reported earlier, revenue from the lease of state property in 2016 amounted to UAH 1.02 billion ($38.4 million), which was 16% down year-over-year. The SPF expects to receive over UAH 1 billion ($37.6 million) from the lease of state property in 2017.
