Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Kyiv with executives of BlackRock Inc., including Philipp Hildebrand, vice chairman and member of the asset management firm’s global executive committee.
BlackRock Financial Market Advisory will provide services for a Ukrainian development investment fund, according to an emailed statement from Zelenskyy’s office. The fund will seek private and public capital for projects in Ukraine after active hostilities end.
“We can offer interesting projects for investments in energy, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, IT, and many other sectors,” Zelenskyy said. “‘We want global partners who can provide us with large investments to come.”
