At the same time, it is essential for businesses to have a clear algorithm of actions, precise explanations, and predictability of decisions. This will allow companies to plan their activities, preserve jobs, and invest in development.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EBA will continue to serve as a platform for constructive dialogue between business and government, since only such partnership can ensure sustainable development and strengthen Ukraine\u2019s resilience in these challenging times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reference information: <a href=\"https:\/\/oda.od.gov.ua\/ua\/bronuvannya-pidpriemstv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/oda.od.gov.ua\/ua\/bronuvannya-pidpriemstv<\/a>\u00a0<br \/>\nChat-bot: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/OODA_eko_bot\">https:\/\/t.me\/OODA_eko_bot<\/a>\u00a0<br \/>\nHotline: +380 63 100 0317\u00a0<br \/>\nBusiness chat: <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/FTh8Ic29Q36AfEXVCnfsfJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chat.whatsapp.com\/FTh8Ic29Q36AfEXVCnfsfJ<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The topic of defining enterprises, institutions, and organizations as critical is extremely relevant.
