Ukraine and the Global Economy: A Brief Look at a UN Program We recently received a report on the UN Finan cing for Development program, which hopes to assist developing nations and countries in economic tran sition to benefit from economic globalization. While the report pointed out that the current Ukrainian economy is burdened by an extremely high foreign debt (most of which is owed to Russia and the International Monetary Fund), it also indicated that inflation in Ukraine has leveled off and that the national currency is relatively stable. This relative stability is due, in part, to foreign investment, sug gesting that interational corporations are willing to speculate positively on Ukraine’s potential as a viable economic entity in the global market. The report caut ions that economic potential may be hindered by mismanagement and inefficient privatization. The report also concluded that, to date, the UN program was focused primarily on assistance to developing nations. Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
