The event was held offline for the first time in almost three years, according to the press service of the Ministry of Economy.
The meeting was opened by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. It was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kachka, Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture Oleksiy Sobolev, Minister of Finance Serhiy Marchenko, representatives of the European Commission, the US State Department, and international financial organizations.

During the meeting, the parties discussed:

• accelerating reforms and further integration of Ukraine into the EU;
  
  
• ensuring medium-term budgetary needs, including for the first half of 2026;
  
  
• financing the restoration and strengthening of energy resilience, especially in frontline and liberated regions;
  
  
• instruments for attracting private investment — guarantees, credit mechanisms, and incentives for business.

Minister of Economy Oleksiy Sobolev joined the discussion on private sector participation in the country's recovery. He emphasized the effectiveness of capital raising instruments created in partnership with European institutions. According to him, €7 billion has already been allocated within the Ukraine Investment Framework mechanism, of which €2.9 billion is directed to private projects that have the potential to mobilize more than €10 billion in investments.

"We are grateful to the Ukrainian Donors' Platform and all international partners for their systematic support and joint efforts to attract private capital to Ukraine. We combine budget support with investor protection instruments, develop military risk insurance infrastructure, privatization project portfolios, and public-private partnerships. The Business Advisory Council is an important link between the government, donors, and business, and actively attracting private capital remains one of the main priorities for 2026," said Oleksiy Sobolev.

Following the meeting, participants confirmed their readiness to continue coordinating actions and joint financial planning to ensure stable macro-financial support, implement key infrastructure projects, and accelerate Ukraine's integration into the EU economic space.
Particular attention was paid to the urgent needs of the population, the challenges of community resilience, and mechanisms for international support for territories under constant pressure from the war.
