Ukraine offers a great variety of regional perspectives for doing business. Eastern Ukraine is well known for its strong industrial sector, which includes coal mining, metallurgy and machine-building industries, as well as chemistry and petroleum refinery. Central and southern regions are strong in crop growing and food processing. Western Ukrainian economies are focused on light industry, trade, food and wood processing and transportation. Recreational resources are concentrated along the Black Sea coast, the Sea of Asov, and in the Carpathian Mountains, which cover five western regions. Kyiv City is the financial centre of the economy, backed up by a number of strong regional banking centres: Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, L'viv and Donetsk.
