The government of Ukraine, in collaboration with international partners, is starting the creation of a new fund aimed at attracting investments in strategic sectors of the economy. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Economy Oleksiy Sobolev.

In particular, the fund is expected to support investments in key sectors such as infrastructure, energy, industry, agriculture, high technology, education, and healthcare. According to Sobolev, several leading institutional investors have already expressed interest in joining the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF) initiative.
Development of Investment Mechanisms
The government hopes that announcements regarding partner projects will occur very soon. Thanks to the risk-reduction tools of UIF, Ukraine has already managed to attract investments in several sectors, including infrastructure and green energy. However, the need for effective mechanisms to attract capital remains significant.
Cooperation with European Financial Institutions
Oleksiy Sobolev also noted that Ukrainian officials recently discussed ways to stimulate investment in Ukraine with representatives of leading European financial institutions during a meeting in Paris. In July, a presentation of joint developments with the French investment bank Bpifrance regarding the launch of a special venture fund is planned. This fund aims to attract French capital to recovery projects.
It is estimated that at least 33% of Ukraine’s recovery should be covered by private investments, highlighting the importance of creating effective mechanisms for investment activity.
