The presentation “100 Days of the Ministry of Economy: Achievements and Plans”, dedicated to the work of the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine, took place on December 21 in the steam turbine workshop 53 of JSC “Turboatom”.

The presentation was held personally by the Minister of Economy Tymofiy Mylovanov. He spoke about the achievements of the ministry and shared plans for the future. “We were allowed to hold this presentation at “Turboatom”, for which I want to thank the management of the plant. The choice of venue is very simple: I want to support only those enterprises where jobs are created, where high salaries are paid, where the economy is developing. If there is no industry in the vector that Turboatom demonstrates, and then our economy will not grow,” Mylovanov emphasized.

It is an innovation in the practice of the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Economy to report on the current situation in the country directly to the work collective. It is especially important for us that all this happens within the walls of “Turboatom”, an enterprise that has been 85 years old the basis of power engineering in Ukraine,” – said Victor Subbotin.

He also recalled that “Turboatom” annually increases production volumes, demonstrates high profitability and pays large taxes on profits and dividends to the country. “And we are proud of it,” added the General Director of “Turboatom”.
