In 2026, new mechanisms of the state policy “Made in Ukraine” were implemented, with the primary goal of supporting national producers and stimulating the development of the processing industry. In particular, from the beginning of the year, the mandatory level of localization during state procurement increased from 25% to 30%. This is another stage of increase that was established in legislation back in 2022.

Implementation of Property Insurance Against War Risks
In addition to raising localization requirements, a new mechanism for insuring enterprises’ property against war risks has been launched in Ukraine. Two main formats of its operation are provided:
- Direct compensation for losses for enterprises operating in frontline regions. The cost of the policy is 0.5% of the expected loss amount, and the maximum compensation from the state can reach 10 million hryvnias.
- Compensation of part of the insurance premiums for enterprises across the country. The state will cover part of the insurance company’s tariff for policies that protect against war risks. For one contract, the compensation limit is up to 1 million hryvnias.
₴1 billion is allocated in the budget for compensations.
Additional Support Tools for Business
The government has also introduced additional measures to stimulate Ukrainian producers. In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers established a zero quota on the export of scrap and timber, which is expected to promote domestic processing. Additionally, the grant amount for starting or expanding a business has been increased from 250,000 to 350,000 hryvnias, and entrepreneurs now have the opportunity to receive grant support again.
