Investment legislation in Ukraine: opportunities for investors

Ukraine is creating favourable conditions for investment through legislative initiatives aimed at attracting significant investment in key sectors of the economy. 

The legislation on state support for investment projects with investments of more than EUR 12 million opens up new prospects for investors willing to contribute to Ukraine’s development.

The Law of Ukraine “On State Support for Investment Projects with Significant Investments” is an important step in supporting the country’s economic development. This law covers strategic sectors such as

  • manufacturing industry (excluding activities related to the production and distribution of tobacco products, ethyl alcohol, cognac and fruit alcohol, alcoholic beverages);
  • production of biogas and biomethane (including liquefied or compressed biomethane);
  • extraction of minerals (except coal and lignite, crude oil and natural gas);
  • waste management;
  • transport
  • warehousing and storage;
  • post and courier activities, logistics;
  • education, scientific and technical activities;
  • healthcare;
  • arts, culture, sports, tourism, leisure and recreation;
  • electronic communications.

These sectors have been identified as priorities for attracting investment, which should help to create new jobs, improve competitiveness and develop domestic production.

UkraineInvest actively supports investors at every stage of the application process for state support, assisting in the preparation of financial models and feasibility studies for projects. Over the past six months, with the support of UkraineInvest, investment projects totaling more than 290 million euros have been submitted to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine. Of these, two applications were approved by the Ministry of Economy, and the Government approved the signing of special investment agreements. These agreements will help attract 96 million euros into the country’s economy and create over 200 new jobs.
