You're reading: Investment agency head Kaskiv ready for resignation and work in private sector

Head of the State Agency for Investment and National Projects Management of Ukraine Vladyslav Kaskiv has not held consultations regarding working with the new government, and in late 2013 wrote a letter of resignation, and if it signed he is ready for work in the private sector.

“I wrote a letter of resignation last year, but given the tragic
circumstances, I did not consider it necessary to make this public. The
decision about my resignation has not been accepted by anyone,” he told
Interfax-Ukraine.

At the same time, Kaskiv noted that he continues to perform his duties, as work on the projects cannot be stopped.

Among the largest ongoing national projects he singled out Air
Express, which is fully funded for $372 million, is under construction
and should be completed by the end of 2015, and the Clean City project,
for which investors for five of the ten incineration plants have been
selected.

Kaskiv also noted the Quality Water project, realized in three
cities, and the Open World project, within which 54 schools in all the
regions of Ukraine were transferred to an interactive multimedia
learning format, and in which another 2,000 schools (more than 10% of
their total number in Ukraine) are to be included by the end of the
school year.

Kaskiv said that the implementation of the project of the first
concession road, which is a section of the Kyiv circular road, has been
started with the support of the International Finance Corporation (IFC),
and that a winter sports and recreation complex, which should increase
regional GDP by 3.5%, is being built using private funds under the
Olympic Hope 2022 project.
