“Made in Ukraine” as a driver of growth: government support contributed nearly 1 percentage point to GDP and is entering a new phase
2 January 16:15
The government’s “Made in Ukraine” policy to support Ukrainian manufacturers has had a tangible macroeconomic impact: in 2025, it contributed 0.95 percentage points to GDP growth.
Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced this while summarizing the program’s implementation, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
According to the head of government, the “Made in Ukraine” brand has brought together more than a dozen business support tools —ranging from localization in public procurement and grants for processing to industrial parks, export programs, and support for large investment projects.
In 2025, 72,000 Ukrainian enterprises benefited from state support.
Key results include:
- nearly 29,000 loans totaling 88 billion UAH under the “Affordable Loans 5–7–9%” program;
- 347 new machines and production lines installed thanks to grants for processing enterprises;
- hundreds of government orders for Ukrainian manufacturers through the localization mechanism.
Industrial parks and large investment projects have become a separate focus area. As of the end of 2025:
- 37 factories have been built or are under construction within industrial parks;
- projects with significant investments totaling 154 million euros have been launched, particularly in agricultural processing and recreation.
Impact on Regions and Consumption
The support policy also affected related sectors:
- farmers purchased 8 , 460 units of Ukrainian agricultural equipment worth 5.7 billion UAH;
- Communities purchased 695 Ukrainian-made school buses worth 2.7 billion UAH;
- 7,600 families took advantage of the “eOselya” affordable mortgage program;
- 10,000 Ukrainians started businesses thanks to “Vlasna Sprava” microgrants;
- non-commodity exports were supported to the tune of 10.5 billion UAH.
According to Svyrydenko, support for domestic production yielded direct fiscal results. In the first 11 months of 2025:
- the manufacturing industry accounted for 17.9% of consolidated budgettax revenues —the highest among all sectors;
- revenue growth compared to the previous year amounted to UAH 69.2 billion.
In 2026, the government plans to continue and expand the “Made in Ukraine” policy. Among the new priorities:
- the launch of insurance against war risks;
- expansion of the “Own Business” program;
- for the first time—funding for export promotion, including participation in international exhibitions.
Approximately UAH 37 billion has been allocated for the implementation of key programs, and a total of UAH 50.7 billion has been set aside in the 2026 state budget to support the economy and business.
