At [the] first “European Union - Ukraine Investment Conference” organised by the EU and the Government of Ukraine in Warsaw, Poland, the EU launched a Call for Expression of Interest to mobilise private EU investment in critical areas to support Ukraine’s rebuilding efforts.
Under the Call, EU businesses, including joint ventures, or consortia involving both EU and Ukrainian companies, are invited to submit proposals until 1st March 2025. Proposals will be reviewed and connected to the best suited investment projects funded the Ukraine Investment Framework, which is an integral pillar under the EU’s €50 billion Ukraine Facility. By encouraging business partnerships and EU private sector engagement in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction, the EU also helps further integration of Ukraine into the EU Single Market.
This is largely part of what Ukraine has been initiating in the late 2010s as the article suggests, and there is more to come by the EU.
EU launches Call for EU business to invest in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction
Addition: There are comprehensive analyses on Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction, its involvement of the Ukrainian people and civil society, and Ukraine’s future EU membership by the Bankwatch Network for those interested.
Very interesting links. Still, my understanding is that in this context privatisations and investments are not referring to the same approach.
