CMS Ukraine publishes updated Rebuilding Ukraine – A Vital Investment (January 2026)

Our member CMS Ukraine has released an updated edition of its analytical overview “Rebuilding Ukraine – A Vital Investment” (January 2026). The publication provides a comprehensive snapshot of Ukraine’s reconstruction and recovery landscape, highlighting why support for Ukraine should be seen not as a cost, but as a long-term strategic investment for Europe and international partners.

Why this guide matters

The overview comes at a critical moment, as large-scale international financing frameworks are already being deployed and Ukraine’s economic transformation is well underway. The guide outlines how reconstruction is happening in real time, supported by reforms aligned with EU standards, growing private-sector participation, and increasing integration with European markets.

Key themes covered in the publication include:

• International funding and investment frameworks, including EU, IFI and allied government programmes supporting reconstruction and recovery.
• Risk insurance and investment guarantees, addressing war-related risks through a combination of state-backed, multilateral and private-market instruments.
• Government incentives and reforms designed to attract foreign investors and accelerate business activity.
• Priority sectors for investment, such as defence, energy and renewables, logistics and transportation, manufacturing and industrial parks, and agriculture and agro-processing.
• Ukraine’s progress towards EU integration, strengthening regulatory alignment, market access and long-term investment stability.

A practical resource for businesses

Rather than focusing solely on future prospects, the CMS guide demonstrates that Ukraine’s reconstruction is already creating tangible business opportunities. It combines policy context with concrete examples of projects, investments and sectoral developments, making it a valuable resource for companies considering entry into the Ukrainian market or expanding their existing presence.

The publication also highlights how companies can prepare for and participate in reconstruction efforts, including navigating legal reforms, managing risk, accessing finance, and structuring investments in line with international standards.
