Macroeconomic Stability of Ukraine: The First 100 Days of the New Cabinet and Free Nation’s Ideas for Saving the Economy, Inspired by Javier Milei’s Success

On 19 November, Free Nation held a discussion on Ukraine’s macroeconomic stability and the first 100 days of the new Cabinet, using Javier Milei’s experience as an example. We talked about why the Ukrainian economy has ended up in the red zone and what exactly needs to change for the country to finally shift from a model of state intervention to a truly free market.

The main speaker, economist, and Free Nation Board Member Yaroslav Romanchuk, stressed that the government today operates without clear economic benchmarks, performance criteria, or policy-coordination instruments, forcing businesses into the shadows. This is why Ukraine faces huge budgetary, trade, and balance-of-payments deficits, excessive public debt, high inflation, and almost zero economic growth over the past twenty years.

During the meeting, we discussed how yet another crisis cycle offers Ukraine a chance — an opportunity to try economic freedom as the foundation for development for the first time. This means a course towards a small government, full respect for private property, deregulation, and the creation of conditions in which the economy grows thanks to people, not bureaucrats.

This was an important step in our nationwide programme to promote the ideas of freedom. We thank everyone who attended and joined the discussion. Together, we are shaping a new strategy for Ukraine — a country that can become a leader of freedom in Europe.

We also sincerely thank the investment company Advance Finance Alliance for providing the venue for this important event!
