The Latvian business community is helping Ukrainian companies set up logistics, enter global markets and establish new partnerships. Latvia has become one of the main entry points to the EU market for Ukrainian exports. More than 1.2% of Latvia’s GDP is spent on supporting Ukraine. It is one of the few countries with which trade turnover increased in 2022 (+7.4%).
This was discussed during the bilateral Ukrainian-Latvian business forum held in Kyiv as part of the visit of Latvian business representatives interested in investing in the Ukrainian economy.

He stressed that UkraineInvest will provide comprehensive support to interested investors, including reliable and up-to-date information, advice on doing business in Ukraine, identification of optimal investment opportunities, assistance in communicating with the authorities, and help in solving problems they may encounter.
