The Ukrainian government will create incentives for the development of the IT sector, Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said at a meeting with representatives of Ukrainian IT companies in Kyiv on Tuesday.

The premier said a corresponding draft law has been registered in parliament. It was drawn up jointly by the government and lawmakers, he said.

"I think that after its adoption, companies that operate in this area will have very serious incentives to legalize all their volumes and actually give up using shadow schemes," Azarov said.

He said that the approval of the measures would increase the inflow of investment to the IT sector.

Azarov also said that the government is finishing the designing of a program on economic development, which contains measures to improve Ukraine's investment attractiveness.
