Zhukovskyi Roman Serhiyovych
Former Head of Economic Policy Department
Person information
Economist from the World Bank
Head of the Economic Policy Department of the Administration of the President of Ukraine. Before entering public service, worked as an economist in the World Bank structures — hence the reputation as a technocrat reformer. Author of analytical articles in "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" — particularly on the investment climate and unprofitable state guarantees.
Minister of Economy who was never appointed
In March 2020, during the formation of the Shmyhal government, the media named him a candidate for the position of Minister of Economy. The appointment did not take place — instead of a ministerial portfolio, Zhukovskyi received a position in the Presidential Administration, where he oversees the economic bloc without public media presence.
Zhukovskyi's public activity is minimal — he positions himself as a technocrat reformer, author of articles in "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" about the investment climate and unprofitable state guarantees.
