With recovery requirements estimated at USD 588 billion over 2026-2035, how can Ukraine translate strategic priorities into deliverable infrastructure projects, ensure integrity and value for money, and mobilise public and private resources across the full asset lifecycle? The Government of Ukraine partnered with the OECD to review its infrastructure governance and financing frameworks amid unprecedented recovery and reconstruction needs following Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
Ukraine has established relevant upstream measures supporting a more rules based, fiscally anchored and digitalised system. However, the reform frontier has shifted downstream. Stronger project preparation, procurement strategies, permitting co ordination and lifecycle management are critical to converting improved planning into timely delivery, resilient assets and sustained value for money.
Efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability in unprecedented conditions are also contributing to strengthen Ukraine’s capacity to mobilise private capital. Yet, wartime risk, macro fiscal constraints, weak financial intermediation and integrity challenges continue to limit private participation. Addressing these constraints requires a sequenced reform agenda that strengthens enabling conditions, deepens public-private partnership implementation capacity, develops domestic financial markets, and integrates climate resilience and EU aligned sustainability standards across infrastructure delivery.
