    Thanks to the support of our partners, Ukraine has fully covered its budget needs for 2024, which amounted to USD 41.6 billion. The Government also has an understanding of how the needs for 2025, which amount to USD 39.3 billion, will be covered. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during the 12th Steering Committee of the Ukraine Donor Platform.

    According to the Head of Government, along with budgetary issues, the focus is on recovery.

    "Ukraine is actively implementing public investment management reform. In 2024, the Strategic Investment Council began its work and approved the Single Project Pipeline (SPP) - 787 projects, of which 92 projects were selected for this year," said Denys Shmyhal.

    The Strategic Investment Council has also approved the priority areas of recovery, which the Government has used to set its investment priorities for this year:

    - Social sphere, where the focus is on rebuilding housing, education and science, healthcare, primarily on shelter in schools, hospitals, etc. This is social protection and livelihoods for Ukrainians.

    - Rebuilding infrastructure: energy, including the protection of energy facilities, transport, water supply and sewerage.
    - Cross-cutting sectors such as demining, emergency response and civil protection, including ‘big shelters’ based on the Finnish model.

    "Supporting the private sector remains one of our top priorities. We invest in the development of small and medium-sized businesses. We are counting on the financial assistance of our partners to enhance the relevant government programmes," the Prime Minister said.

    All these measures, according to the Head of Government, will create safe conditions, new jobs and contribute to the development of the economy, thereby being an important prerequisite for the return of Ukrainians.
