Shulyak said that by 2027, Ukraine plans to create an investment fund worth 16 billion euros. It is planned to be launched as part of the second component of the Ukraine Facility program, which provides for the provision of 50 billion euros from the EU to Ukraine.
"It (the investment fund - ed.) can be a significant support for business development, in particular for those who see themselves in the development of the construction sector. We will wait for this fund to start working so that it can help the construction industry as well," Shulyak said.
The fund will be financed with the participation of international and European financial institutions, such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank, the Council of Europe Development Bank, and the World Bank.
