Hello. Hope you’re safe and feeling at least somewhat spring-hopeful.

To wrap up the week — dive into some of the key highlights:
Spotlight
Ukraine Shows “Significant Progress” in Implementing the EU-directional Rule of Law
As part of the recent changes and as a result of transparent and internationally verified public hearings, the High Council of Justice and the High Qualification Commission of Judges — were formed on an entirely new competitive basis.
At the ‘A Decade of Transformation Towards a Fair Future: Implementation of Anti-Corruption and Rule of Law Reforms in Ukraine with the support of the EU’ event, Deputy Ministers emphasised the country steadfastly proceeding on its EU candidate path, already sharing its achievement formulas with other Member Candidates.
Ukraine—a Digital State
Document Multi-Sharing as a Next Digitalisation Step
For quite some time now, Ukrainians had—and actively used—an option to share and verify documents, IDs and certificates via the Diia app and web portal. Now, the National Bank has contributed to the infrastructure, preparing to roll out support for digital income reference sharing, encompassing data for various sources of income.?
Works easy as always: companies request and share documents—now in batches—in several clicks.
