Yuliia Svyrydenko became Minister of Economy and First Vice Prime Minister


The First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy was confirmed at the meeting of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament of Ukraine).

Thus, the Parliament appointed Yuliia Svyrydenko. She will replace Oleksiy Lyubchenko in this position, whose resignation was approved by the Verkhovna Rada on November 3rd.

Yuliia Anatoliivna Svyrydenko (35 years old) – Deputy Head of the President’s Office from December 22nd, 2020 to November 3rd, 2021. From July 3rd to November 28th, 2018 – Acting Head of the Chernihiv Regional State Administration. From July 22nd, 2020 – First Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture.

In 2008 she graduated from the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics (KNUTE) with a degree in management of antimonopoly activities, Magister. In the same year she embarked on postgraduate studies at KNUTE with a degree in economics and management of the national economy.

Presumably, Rostislav Shurma, a member of the Supervisory Board of the Ukroboronprom state concern and the Ex-Director General of the Zaporizhstal metallurgical plant (Metinvest group), may now take the post of Deputy Head of the President’s Office.
