Investment Areas and Future Projects
The majority of the funding is directed towards the development of transport and social infrastructure, increasing energy efficiency, upgrading energy capacities, developing public transport, and modernizing critical facilities. In the coming months, over €95 million is planned to be attracted for the procurement of modern public transport rolling stock, the reconstruction of social infrastructure facilities, the renewal of urban lighting systems, as well as for the modernization of water supply, sewage, and waste management enterprises.
Plans for Attracting Additional Funds
As noted by Deputy Minister of Finance Olga Zykova, the review of the credit portfolio is crucial for the implementation of the European Commission’s new guarantee instrument for Ukraine – the Pillar II Ukraine Facility. The Ukrainian side, together with the EIB, is considering the possibility of attracting additional financing amounting to €2.1 billion, starting from 2026-2027. The planned funds are intended to be directed towards the reconstruction of critically important sectors: transport and logistics, energy, social services, and housing and communal services.
“The review of the credit portfolio is extremely important for the implementation of the new guarantee instrument of the European Commission for Ukraine – the Pillar II Ukraine Facility”.
