Conference
SUPPORTING UKRAINE ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FROM POLAND AND EUROPE
28 November 2022 Kyiv
8:00 AM Poland/ 9:00 AM Ukraine
Format: hybrid (offline panelists in Kyiv and online + video streaming)
Language: Polish and Ukrainian (simultaneous translation)
CONCEPT
Purpose: According to the August 2022 World Bank Rapid Damage and Need Assessment Report (RDNA), rebuilding infrastructure and restoring the economy of Ukraine may tally staggering 352 billion US dollars. This figure presents a formidable challenge to Ukraine’s international partners in the West. As overlapping energy, climate and military crises are likely to overwhelm the EU budget in the next few years, it will be up to individual governments and financial institutions of EU countries to foot the bill.
Poland is well positioned to play a leading role in this process, in partnership with other EU Member States and EU institutional investors. The Polish financial institutions have well-tested instruments used in modernizing the country’s infrastructure and industrial sector, while the Polish business offers a thorough understanding of Ukrainian economic realities and leverages close cultural ties.
The purpose of this event is to unveil Poland’s potential to the Ukrainian financial and business sector, to discuss opportunities and challenges of investing in reconstruction and recovery, to establish direct business contacts.
Organizers: ZPP, UkraineInvest, National Investment Council of Ukraine, Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (SUP).
