<title>Ukraine listed as top 5 most promising economies in the world</title>
<link>http://www.kips.com.ua/view.news/mode.view/id.100/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ukraine has been listed as one the of top 5 most promising country,  as declared by New York Congressmen, Michael Grimm. This places the  Ukraine alongside countries, including China, India and Singapore.   Congressman Grimm noted that the US should pay close attention to the  Ukraine, and a proposed partnership between the two countries seemed  logical.  Congressman Grimm highlighted the key advantages of building a  partnership with the Ukraine based on its strong agricultural, tourism  and infrastructure industries. He also noted that the Ukraine has an  abundance of natural gases which could make this fast-developing country  a key economic player in 10-20 years time, as the world shifts from the  heavy reliance on oil.   &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I have been watching the Ukraine economy for a long time. Unlike other  economies, Ukraine has a strong gross national product which is  expected to increase by 5.1% in 2011 &amp;ndash; one that the USA cannot reach.  Ukraine is in agreements with the Eurozone to sign a free trade treaty  between the EU and the Ukraine. This provides excellent investment  opportunities for the US&amp;rdquo;, Congressman Grimm stated. ]]></description>
