The Cabinet of Ministers is developing the ‘Economy of the Future’: the aim is to boost GDP growth to 6% per year
This was announced by Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
According to her, the government has already presented its vision for implementing the strategy to members of the international advisory business council chaired by Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Cabinet of Ministers notes that the future development model should be based on the principles and rules of the European Union – a competitive economy, strong institutions, an attractive investment climate and active development of the private sector.
Key areas of the strategy include:
- defence technologies;
- energy;
- the agricultural sector;
- transport;
- engineering;
- IT;
- critical minerals.
“We have an ambitious yet achievable goal – to increase average GDP growth to 6% per year, labour productivity from the current 1.3% to 5%, and the share of investment in GDP from the pre-war level of 16% to 24–30% annually,” said Yulia Svyrydenko.
The next step is for the government to move on to selecting flagship investment projects as part of the ‘Economy of the Future’ strategy.
As the Prime Minister reported, these projects are planned to be presented to international partners during URC2026 in Gdańsk.
As a reminder, the NBU previously presented its updated macroeconomic forecast for 2026–2027. Due to the difficult situation in the energy sector and events in the Middle East, the economy has slowed down and prices are rising faster. However, the regulator expects the situation to stabilise as early as 2027.
