The special representative said that her tasks include working with the government of Ukraine, the US government and ambassador Bridget Brinks, as well as other allies, on issues related to the economic recovery of Ukraine.
Her tasks will also include working with the private sector. In addition, Pritzker will be a member of the interdepartmental donor coordination platform and will cooperate with the governments of other allied countries, the European Commission and international financial institutions, and the private sector.
Quote: "There will be a focus on working on reforms that bake in transparency and accountability into the reconstruction effort, whether that’s in the regulatory environment or law enforcement, judiciary, anti-corruption, state-owned enterprise governance, etc.
I want to encourage companies in a variety of sectors of the economy, particularly in energy, transportation, logistics, agriculture, critical materials, and IT technology. I aim to encourage American businesses and other businesses to understand the opportunity for investment and recovery in Ukraine.
And then, of course, communicating both with Congress about the importance of economic recovery to the success of Ukraine now and post-war, as well as communicating with the diaspora in the United States as to the status of our engagement and the opportunities that exist in Ukraine."
