The study rates these cities on the basis of a number of economic factors, and offers a basic, general economic profile of each city it has considered. This data base is offered as a detailed first glance for businesses looking for site location possibilities throughout Ukraine, and for local economic development professionals interested in examining the comparative stature of Ukraine’s diverse cities.
