Ukraine removes barriers: new conditions for large investments
18 April 20:00
In April 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a decision that changes the rules for investors planning to implement large projects in the country. Under the new conditions, investors are allowed to start financing their projects earlier, without waiting for the standard 18-month period before applying for state support, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports, citing the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
This innovation is aimed at stimulating economic growth and attracting investment in the real sector of the economy.
New opportunities for investors
Previously, investors who planned to receive state support for their projects had to wait 18 months before applying. Now, they can start financing their projects immediately, which speeds up the implementation of investment plans and reduces the risks associated with delays.
It is important to note that such investments will not be counted towards the total amount of “significant investments” as defined by the law. However, this opens up more opportunities for those who are ready to start working now, without postponing plans for later.
Support under the “Made in Ukraine” policy
The government continues to support large investment projects under the “Made in Ukraine” policy. If a business invests at least €12 million, it can receive compensation of up to 30% of its capital investment costs. Projects can last up to 5 years, and the priority areas include manufacturing, logistics, mining, healthcare, education, culture, tourism, sports, IT, and other industries.
This policy aims to attract investment for the development of Ukrainian producers, increase production of high value-added products, and stimulate demand for Ukrainian goods. Business support tools include the Affordable Loans 5-7-9% program, a program to compensate farmers for the purchase of Ukrainian-made machinery and equipment, a grant program for the development of processing enterprises, the Own Business grant program, the eOselya affordable mortgage program, the development of industrial parks, etc.
Expected results
The changes in investment rules are aimed at creating a favorable investment climate in Ukraine. It is expected that this will increase the number of investors willing to invest in the Ukrainian economy and speed up the implementation of investment projects. In addition, it may have a positive impact on economic growth, job creation, and the competitiveness of Ukrainian enterprises in the international market.
Vitaliy Kindrativ, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine, noted that cooperation between the state and business can create real prerequisites for economic growth and financial independence. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to develop production, attract investment in the real sector and support the export of high value-added products.
Economic experts point out that this decision of the Cabinet of Ministers is an important step towards improving the investment climate in Ukraine. Allowing early financing of projects without waiting for the standard deadline for applying for state support creates new opportunities for investors and helps speed up the implementation of investment projects. This, in turn, can have a positive impact on the country’s economic development and increase its attractiveness to foreign investors.
