Swedfund contributes to Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine continues to have serious humanitarian, economic and political consequences. Considering the extent of the destruction, enormous investment will be needed to reconstruct the country. At the same time, Ukraine’s private sector has proven to be resilient. The country has succeeded in doing something both difficult and unusual – to restore and rebuild the country while the war is ongoing.
