Investing in Ukraine

Opportunity

Ukraine’s reconstruction represents one of the largest economic rebuilding efforts globally, with total recovery and reconstruction needs estimated at over USD 500bn over the coming decade. This scale cannot be achieved without substantial private-sector investment, making the preparation of credible, investment-ready projects a critical prerequisite for successful reconstruction.
Well-structured private projects serve a dual purpose: they accelerate Ukraine’s economic recovery while offering investors access to scalable opportunities with attractive, risk-adjusted returns. Project readiness, clear structures, governance, and execution pathways - is therefore not only a national necessity, but also the foundation for profitable private capital deployment.

How are investors supported in Ukraine?

Ukraine combines national incentives and international support to reduce risk, accelerate project readiness, and crowd in private capital.

SIA

Projects can receive state support up to 30% of planned capex via a Special Investment Agreement (e.g., tax/customs relief and/or state-funded supporting infrastructure).

Industrial Parks

Import duty + import VAT exemptions on eligible new equipment, a 10-year CIT exemption (with reinvestment conditions), and possible local land/real-estate tax reductions.

Energy Sector

Energy projects benefit from VAT-free equipment imports (until 2029), simplified land allocation and land-use change, faster grid connection, and streamlined permitting for decentralised generation.

Agribusiness 

Agricultural producers operate under a special tax regime replacing corporate income tax with a land-based single tax, typically resulting in an effective tax burden that is ~50–70% lower than the standard corporate regime in Ukraine.

Diia City

Eligible tech companies can opt into a special legal/tax framework designed to support scaling (commonly cited features include a 9% “withdrawn capital” approach and structured taxation of specialists).

EU/U.S./DFIs

EU, U.S., and international DFIs support investment into Ukraine through a combination of concessional and blended capital, guarantees and political-risk insurance, and grant components designed to de-risk private investment and improve project bankability.
