State support and new investment opportunities in post-war Ukraine

Interest in investing in the Ukrainian economy is growing. Currently, the total value of investment projects prepared for submission to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine exceeds EUR 600 million.

This was stated by the Acting Executive Director of UkraineInvest, Oleksandr Melnychenko, during his speech at the roundtable “Investing in Ukraine During the War: State Support Tools for Investors”. The event took place at the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development. The Committee actively engages with the executive branch and the business community to gather feedback on the effectiveness of state investment support instruments.

Oleksandr Melnychenko emphasised that the Law of Ukraine “On State Support of Investment Projects with Significant Investments”, developed on the initiative of the President of Ukraine, is an effective tool for the recovery and development of key sectors of the economy.

“The state has created equal opportunities for domestic and foreign investors. UkraineInvest’s portfolio already includes several investment projects whose implementation will directly contribute to Ukraine’s economic recovery. Our team firmly believes that the reconstruction of the country must start with attracting private investment,” said Oleksandr Melnychenko.

The exchange of ideas during the event highlighted the synergy between different branches of government in the design and application of investment legislation.

The roundtable was attended by Ihor Marchuk, Chairman of the Subcommittee on State-Business Interaction and Investment of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development; Vitaliy Kindrativ, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine; Bohdan Kytsak, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Adaptation of Ukrainian Legislation to EU Law and Implementation of Ukraine’s International Legal Obligations in the Field of European Integration, Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development; Yaroslav Rushchyshyn, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development; as well as representatives of the Parliament, the Executive Branch and international companies that, despite the war, are not only staying in Ukraine but continuing to invest in their production.

The event was organised by the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development on the initiative of its Chairman, Dmytro Natalukha. The aim was to provide investors with up-to-date information on investment support in Ukraine and to discuss pressing investment issues.
