Conflict, inflation and fallout from the global economic crisis in 2015, left Ukraine facing economic collapse. The country needed a new debt restructuring deal, but first it had to build global confidence in its financial institutions and leaders. The nation turned to APCO to orchestrate a global outreach campaign, bringing debt-holders to the negotiating table and helping secure a debt-restructuring deal which saved Ukraine US$3.8 billion and rescued the country from economic collapse.
