DAVOS, Jan. 30 – Cheap assets on the developed markets and the squeeze of the debt market will make it hard for Ukrainian companies to raise funds in 2009, according to Jacques Der Megreditchian, the head of the securities department at Troika Dialog Investment Bank.

"Opportunities to enter the international capital and banking credit markets for companies from emerging markets will be rather restricted in 2009. This very much concerns Ukraine," he told Interfax-Ukraine in Davos on Thursday.
