In Berlin, Ukraine presented a $27B investment guide, and the EU launched the Ukraine Investment Framework.

The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine presented its Investment Guide at the URC2024 in Berlin. The guide contains a detailed overview of key sectors – energy, transport and logistics, the agro-industrial complex, green metallurgy, pharmaceutical industry and medicine, critical materials, IT, and examples of investment projects in these sectors. It also describes Ukraine’s investment landscape in detail. The document contains 95 investment projects requiring about $27B in financing.

Ukraine’s Economy Minister Yuliya Svyrydenko noted at the conference that Ukraine demonstrates economic stability, but for rapid growth, it needs $12-13B in investments immediately, without waiting for the war’s end.

In turn, the EU signed the first €1.4B guarantee agreement within the investment component of the Ukraine Facility program. Thus, the bloc has launched the Ukraine Investment Framework, which will help to facilitate Ukraine’s recovery, particularly in terms of energy infrastructure.

In addition, the EC signed new technical assistance programs worth more than €100M to help promote reforms in Ukraine.
