The most promising location for European investment is Ukraine. Given that the country’s recovery will adhere to EU standards, the country is positioned to evolve into a dynamic industrial hub in digital and green transformation, emphasized European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos.
She highlighted that the investment framework for Ukraine in the EU’s multiannual budget is nearly €10B, which will facilitate the attraction of at least another €40B in private and public investment into the country’s economy over the next three years. These opportunities will be utilized to implement both energy and industrial projects.
The commissioner also underscored the Ukrainian defense industry’s potential, noting that Ukraine possesses a highly innovative defense sector with significant growth potential.
Kos further remarked that EU enlargement has greatly accelerated the candidate countries’ integration into the European single market, which is occurring prior to their full membership. This development benefits all parties involved, as it enhances shared security and prosperity.
