@ZelenskyyUa @WorldBank Looking forward to working in 2024 on Ukraine’s mortgage market as part of financing for rebuilding efforts

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I had a good and productive meeting with @WorldBank President Ajay Banga.

I thanked the World Bank for its support and continued interest in Ukraine's success.

We discussed ways to strengthen Ukraine’s financial system, a strategy for restoring mortgage lending, and mechanisms for using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine's benefit.

We agreed to work together to implement all the strong ideas that will bolster Ukraine's economic resilience.
