Investors’ Needs and Expectations
Foreign companies considering entering the Ukrainian market even before the war ends are particularly interested in the construction, recovery, services, and infrastructure sectors. For this category of investors, support in establishing partnerships and expanding business contacts is especially important.
Among the most valuable support tools, investors mentioned: investment guarantees, insurance against military and political risks, as well as tax incentives and investment stimuli.
Thus, the results of the study indicate a high level of interest from the international business community in Ukraine’s recovery and the need for government guarantees and additional incentives to attract investments in key sectors of the economy.
