KIEV, April 10 – The slow pace of the implementation of projects of the World Bank in Ukraine are linked to low efficiency of the country’s public administration, World Bank Country Director for Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine Satu Kahkonen said.

In an interview with Dzerkalo Tyzhnia.Ukraine (ZN.UA) published on April 8 she said that the portfolio of investment of the World Bank in Ukraine is large. It focuses on healthcare, social assistance, housing subsidies, energy, roads and sewage system. However, not all projects are moving as quickly as they should due to the problem of ineffective management.
