The government is preparing new investments in Ukrainian ports and introducing incentives for business

On Monday, August 18, the Ministry of Development presented the draft Government Action Program, the tasks of which include the development of port infrastructure.

This was announced by the Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba.  

According to him, the Government Action Program for 2025 and 2026 is built on four principles: security, human dignity, reconstruction and economy.

“The development of port infrastructure is also strategic. The Ukrainian maritime corridor has been operating for two years, and in parallel, we are preparing new investments in the Black Sea and Danube ports. Public-private partnerships play a major role here, which allows attracting investments in restoration and creating new logistics for exports,” the minister emphasized.

In particular, the government’s initiatives include the following items:

• a moratorium on business inspections for 5 years;

• accelerated privatization;

• incentives for production in Ukraine;

• involvement of the private sector in infrastructure and restoration;

• opening up markets and exports;

• deregulation;

• investment funds (from the US and the EU).

Among the priorities of the Ministry of Development and the Ministry of Economy:

Security of supply chains – goods cross borders faster, and Ukrainian grain reliably reaches world markets. They provide for an increase in the throughput capacity of the border – increased by at least 15% for freight and passenger transport, as well as ensuring the sustainable functioning of the Ukrainian “grain corridor”.

Modern transport and logistics – public-private partnership in the seaport of Chornomorsk and the implementation of the Maritime Single Window in the seaports of Ukraine.

Opening of the Grain Ukraine and Food from Ukraine agrohubs by the end of this year, as well as an export strategy until 2030.
