Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting

The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (Kyiv, Ukraine) is a leading Ukrainian think tank providing thorough economic research and top-level advice regarding public policy. It was founded in October 1999 by top-ranking Ukrainian politicians and the German Advisory Group on Economic Reforms. Our goals are: - to establish an independent research organisation that will provide decision-makers, inside and outside government, with analyses of the Ukrainian economy and economic policies; - to support the economic training and analytical capacity of Ukrainian scholars as potential economic reformers; - to provide policy advice on the basis of sound economic research.
