Ukraine and the European Union are working to expand and develop new financial mechanisms aimed at attracting more private capital for the country’s recovery.
According to Ukrinform, the Ministry of Economy reported that these plans were discussed in Paris this week at a special event attended by representatives of the European Commission, the French government, leading European development finance institutions (Proparco, KfW, CIP), fund managers (Amundi, Natixis), and major Ukrainian private investment funds.
Ukraine was represented by First Deputy Minister of Economy Oleksii Sobolev, who emphasized the crucial role of private capital in Ukraine’s large-scale reconstruction. He noted that risk mitigation tools under the Ukraine Investment Framework have already facilitated investment in infrastructure, small and medium-sized enterprises, green energy, and innovation.
“The need for effective financial mechanisms is much greater,” Sobolev stressed. “That is why we are working with our partners to create a European investment platform that will integrate state and private sector resources while aligning with EU standards.”
The ministry stated that this initiative aims to establish a structured investment fund, bringing together European Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and private investors under EU coordination.
The fund will prioritize key sectors essential to Ukraine’s post-war recovery, including infrastructure and energy.
As reported, the EU’s guarantees under the Ukraine Investment Framework program serve as a foundation for mobilizing additional investment and strengthening the private sector’s role in rebuilding Ukraine.
