Rebuilding Ukraine: Strong Trends and a Clear Future

Summary of CMS publication – September 2025

NUCC member CMS has published its latest Rebuilding Ukraine Overview (September 2025), highlighting strong and consistent trends that continue to shape Ukraine’s economic recovery and investment landscape. Despite ongoing uncertainty, Ukraine’s wartime economy remains dynamic and reform-driven, with tangible growth across multiple sectors and expanding international engagement.

Key developments and opportunities:

• Defence: Rapid expansion in domestic production of drones, ammunition, and missile systems, with over 21 international joint ventures established. Ukraine is introducing a new Defence City regime to support manufacturers through tax exemptions and simplified export procedures.
• Energy and Renewables: Renewable capacity is growing rapidly, with record-high electricity exports and major investments in wind, solar, and energy storage. Ukraine’s energy sector is forecasted to achieve self-sufficiency by 2027.
• Infrastructure and Logistics: Strong growth in port, rail, and warehouse infrastructure continues. New terminals and logistics centres are being developed across the country, supported by both public and private investment.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Parks: International investors from Europe, Asia, and North America are expanding production of steel, glass, and construction materials. Over 55 new industrial parks have been registered since 2024.
• Agriculture and Agro-Processing: Ukraine remains a global leader in grain and sunflower oil exports, with increased investment in storage, logistics, and processing facilities.
• European Integration: Ukraine’s progress toward EU membership and alignment with European legislation is creating a more predictable and investor-friendly environment.

Financing and investment climate:
Ukraine continues to attract significant international financial support through programmes by the EBRD, EIB, IFC, DFC, and World Bank, as well as national initiatives from over 15 countries. Risk insurance mechanisms and export credit guarantees are now widely available to support investments in Ukraine, particularly in renewables and infrastructure.

These developments confirm the resilience of Ukraine’s economy and its capacity to offer long-term, sustainable opportunities for international businesses.
