KYIV, April 26 – The Ukrainian government provided access to open databases that has helped generate more than $700 million, or 0.67% of GDP, in business activity in 2017, according to a recent study.

"If Ukraine continues to work with open data, in particular publish datasets as required by government decree No. 835, then economic benefits from open data until 2025 will be up to $1.4 billion, or 0.92% of GDP," said KSE member Artur Kovalchuk, who is one of the authors of the study.
