As indicated, transportation and construction, manufacturing, and domestic trade remain the drivers of economic growth in 2024.
"Government support programs have played a role, such as grant programs for processing, business creation and development, affordable lending at 5-7-9%, eHouse and others under the Made in Ukraine policy. Also, the increase in purchases of Ukrainian defense industry products stimulates the growth of machine building," said Yulia Svyrydenko, First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.

- transportation (due to the stable functioning of the Ukrainian Sea Corridor);
- construction (thanks to government support programs);

- Processing industry (programs for business recovery and development, access to imported electricity and availability of alternative energy supply capacities).
