BIO:  Anatoliy Kinakh - President, Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, ULIE

Mr. Anatoliy Kinakh is an accomplished Ukrainian politician who currently serves as the President of the Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (ULIE) – the biggest business association in Ukraine. Former long serving (1992-2014) People's Deputy of Ukraine, during his dynamic 24-year political career Mr. Kinakh also held positions of Prime Minister of Ukraine, First Vice-Prime Minister, Minister of Economy, Minister of Industrial Policy and Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

Anatoliy Kinakh has been chairing the Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs since 1997, when several thousands of industrialists and entrepreneurs at an all-Ukrainian congress charged him with a responsible mission to stand for the interests of national producers.

Under his leadership the ULIE asserted itself as an organization ready to participate actively in the development of the legislation necessary for businessmen's effective activity in Ukraine. The League started to submit to the Verkhovna Rada and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine its own proposals to laws and regulations and insisted on their implementation.

Anatoliy Kinakh involved in this activity Ukraine's leading scientists, lawyers, economists and representatives of the real sector of economy. The ULIE initiated wide public discussions of the most important economic projects and invited government representatives for the participation in them. Thus, the foundation for a dialogue between the government and businesses was built in Ukraine.

Both in politics and in business, Mr. Kinakh has dedicated his professional life to ensuring prosperity of Ukraine through its economic development.
