The Ministry of Economy monitored investment projects for further formation of the economic and social patterns of the regions. There have been determined projects that have a chance of becoming drivers of regional development in terms of attracting investment and creating new jobs. In a few weeks, the Ministry of Economy will present an investment map of Ukraine. This was stated by First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy of Ukraine Oleksiy Lyubchenko.

"At the initiative of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, documents have been drafted to define the strategy of economic development of Ukraine, taking into account global world trends and domestic capabilities of the state. These are the Ukraine Transformation Plan and the National Economic Strategy until 2030. We have set ambitious plans - to attract investment into the domestic economy and create at least 350 thousand jobs annually," said Oleksiy Lyubchenko.

According to him, to achieve these goals there will be intensified work with local authorities in the field of management decisions that will help investors implement projects: "We must conduct a thorough analysis and coordinate the process to identify weak points that hinder business development. Unfortunately, in some places local authorities lack experience in working with investors and need to realize that the future well-being of the region directly depends on the number of successful businesses operating there. The challenges are serious, but we are looking for answers to these questions."

Recently, the Ministry of Economy has been actively working with local authorities to develop a list of investment projects that can be implemented over the next three years. Currently, the Ministry of Economy is working on the analysis of this information to create an investment map of Ukraine. This project is executed with the IT support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

"Soon we will present our solutions - an investment map of Ukraine, which will clearly show where and what can be realized - where there is human capital, where the prospects for the introduction of vocational training in certain areas, and so on. In turn, we will have a number of effective tools to support investors – investment nannies, the ability to create industrial parks and more. We will work individually with each investor and local authorities to achieve the best results," commented First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy of Ukraine Oleksiy Lyubchenko.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Economy has identified growth points, which include 12 types of economic activities, which are combined into 5 clusters. The Ministry of Economy is confident that the implementation of investment projects in these areas will allow to achieve certain goals with maximum efficiency.
