Denys Shmyhal invited the International Finance Corporation to join the rehabilitation of infrastructure of Ukrainian cities

During his working visit to Washington, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal met with Makhtar Diop, Managing Director and Executive Vice President of the International Finance Corporation.

The Head of the Ukrainian Government told about the extent of the destruction caused as a result of russia's criminal actions and expressed hope for the support of the International Finance Corporation in the reconstruction of housing and social infrastructure.

"Ukraine plans to rebuild according to the principles of the green economy. We are currently working on a reconstruction plan. We invite the International Finance Corporation to join this process," stressed Denys Shmyhal.

The Prime Minister also admitted that the country was counting on IFC's assistance in financing the rehabilitation of the transport infrastructure of Ukrainian cities, especially those that had suffered through the occupiers’s actions most.

"We are interested in creating an IFC financial platform that will help fund more Ukrainian cities. Under the current developments, attracting foreign investment in the restoration of critical and social infrastructure is one of the most urgent issues on Ukraine's agenda," the Prime Minister added.

Nonetheless, Denys Shmyhal stressed the need to continue the implementation of public-private partnership projects after the victory of Ukraine. In particular, this applies to the execution of concession projects in airports, railway stations, seaports, as well as PPP projects in the road sector.
