The World Bank has analyzed Ukraine’s ability to attract private investment with and without reforms.

Today, Ukraine needs at least $411B in investments to recover. IFC and WB experts have assessed the “no reforms” scenario that was observed before the war. In this case, the involved private investments are estimated at more than $73B, or 18% of investment needs.

In conditions that include accelerating economic reforms, regulation of industry needs, and deepening European integration, Ukraine can count on $130B in private sector investment, or approximately 30% of the total need for reconstruction. The reforms would also help pave the way for an additional $282B in private sector investment.

The financial institutions’ report identifies the sectors where the reforms have the greatest potential:

1. agriculture: $30B
2. food products and beverages: $16B
3. transport and logistics: $7B for restoration and $41B for additional needs
4. energy and mining industry: $36B and $132B, respectively
5. restoration: $30B, and new housing and construction: $60B
