New BES Chief Faces 18-Month Deadline to Reform Staff Certification

The head of the Bureau of Economic Security (BES), Oleksandr Tsyvinsky, appointed by the government on August 6, has been given a year and a half to establish two key commissions: one for selecting new employees and another for re-certifying current staff. This initiative aims to streamline the agency’s operations and ensure that all personnel meet the required standards.

Tsyvinsky’s appointment comes amid ongoing discussions about the need for modernizing government agencies to improve their effectiveness. The creation of these commissions is seen as a step toward enhancing transparency and accountability within the BES. While the specific details of the re-certification process have not been disclosed, the government has emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards for all employees.

Analysts suggest that this reform could have long-term implications for the agency’s operational efficiency. However, the success of these initiatives will depend on how effectively Tsyvinsky can implement the changes within the given timeframe. As the BES continues to undergo these transformations, its role in economic security will remain a focal point for both policymakers and the public.
