669 billion hryvnias in investments: where businesses and the government invested last year

18 March 15:45

Capital investment in Ukraine in 2025 increased by 25.2% compared to the previous year, reaching 669.3 billion hryvnias.

This was reported by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".

The growth in investment indicates a gradual recovery of economic activity and an increase in investments in manufacturing, infrastructure, and other sectors of the economy.

The main source is business funds

According to statistics, the main source of financing remains the own funds of enterprises and organizations.

They account for 71.2% of all investments made in 2025.

Other sources of financing account for a significantly smaller share:

  • state budget funds — 7%
  • local budget funds — 6.4%
  • funds from the public for housing construction — 5.7%
  • bank loans and other borrowed funds — 5.1%
  • funds from foreign investors — 0.1%.

This means that the vast majority of investments in the economy come from domestic business resources.

Where the most was invested

The largest share of capital investments traditionally went to industry.

A total of UAH 259.1 billion was invested in this sector, accounting for 38.7% of total investments.

The second-largest sector in terms of investment was:

  • transport
  • warehousing
  • postal and courier services.

Together, they received 72.3 billion UAH, or 10.8% of the total investment.

What this means for the economy

The growth in investments in industry and transport infrastructure may indicate a gradual recovery of production chains and logistics, which suffered significant losses after the start of the full-scale war.

At the same time, the low share of foreign capital indicates that international investors remain cautious about investing in the country.

Government support for investment

In parallel, the government is continuing its economic stimulus programs.

In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has extended funding for the “Made in Ukraine” state policy to support Ukrainian manufacturers.

More than UAH 5.6 billion is planned to be allocated to these programs in 2026.

Such support measures are expected to stimulate further growth in investment in production and the development of Ukrainian businesses.
