Ukraine and the US are developing a “roadmap to prosperity” until 2040, reconstruction will require about $800 billion
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Kyiv and Washington are working on creating a “roadmap to prosperity” until 2040. The document covers issues of investment, economic development, and long-term security of Ukraine. In addition, the head of state estimated that about 700–800 billion dollars will be needed for the post-war reconstruction of the country.
According to the president, after a series of meetings in the United States, the topics of the economy, security, and possible compromises will be discussed more broadly with the participation of the entire negotiating team.
“On the economy – we have many plans there. The main aspects and directions are our national goals: life expectancy, the return of refugees, these are new jobs, these are also security guarantees, then – the direction of access to markets and accession to the European Union. We have goals and strategies for macroeconomic stability, Zelensky said.
He added that the Ukrainian authorities currently estimate the need for reconstruction financing at about $700-800 billion, and there is a strategy to attract an even larger amount, but the details are not being disclosed at this time.
“In my opinion, it is important that we have a common vision with America, that we will create several funds. There will be a Ukraine reconstruction fund, there will be a sovereign investment platform for Ukraine, there will be a Ukraine development fund, a Ukraine growth and opportunities fund. And we plan to have an American-Ukrainian reconstruction investment fund. The groups are also discussing the issues of the human capital fund and return support, the president emphasized.
