Ukraine and its partners are establishing a fund to attract investment in strategic sectors.

According to Deputy Minister of Economy Oleksiy Sobolev, Ukraine and its international partners are working to launch a new fund to support investment in key sectors such as infrastructure, energy, industry, agriculture, high technology, education, and medicine.

He noted that several leading institutional investors have expressed interest in joining the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF) initiative. The government anticipates that their projects will be announced soon. Thanks to UIF risk reduction tools, investments have already been attracted in several sectors, including infrastructure and green energy, but the demand for effective mechanisms is significantly greater.

Sobolev reported that Ukrainian government officials in Paris discussed methods to stimulate investment in Ukraine with representatives from leading European financial institutions. In July, the Ukrainian government and French investment bank Bpifrance will present developments on the launch of a special venture fund aimed at attracting French capital to recovery projects. The official believes that at least 33% of Ukraine’s reconstruction should be financed by private investment.
