The European Commission and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) have signed an agreement to provide EUR 100 million in guarantees for investment in Ukraine’s reconstruction projects.

The Ministry for Communities and Territories Development announced this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

According to the ministry, the guarantees will be directed to the Amber Dragon [Ukraine Infrastructure] Fund, which invests in transport, logistics, energy, and telecommunications – key sectors for Ukraine’s recovery and sustainable economic growth.

The initiative is being implemented under the Better Futures – Resilience, Reconstruction and Regeneration of Ukraine (RE-Ukraine) program, launched by the European Commission within the Global Gateway framework. Its component, the High Impact Equity Program, provides for direct IFC equity investments in Ukrainian companies, unlike the debt instruments that previously dominated financing structures.
