“Ukraine needs strategic, long-term private and public investment now more than ever. Investors entering this market are not just assessing financial opportunity — they’re helping shape this country’s future economic architecture. Our goal with these investors’ guides is to give global businesses the clarity, realism, and confidence they need to act today, and not ‘someday,'” says Oleg Goshchansky, head of the KPMG Ukraine Gateway initiative.

These guides are designed for companies and investors keenly watching developments in Ukraine and looking for reliable information about a complex and often misunderstood market. It is our hope that we can provide an alternative point of view for those who might assume that investing here during wartime is impossible or too risky.
