Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have engaged in a phone conversation to discuss the establishment of the U.S.-Ukraine Investment Fund, an initiative aimed at fostering economic collaboration between the two nations. The fund is tasked with launching its first three projects within an 18-month timeframe, marking a significant step toward strengthening bilateral investment ties. The first board of directors meeting is scheduled for September, where key stakeholders will deliberate on the fund’s strategic direction and operational framework.
The initiative reflects growing U.S. commitment to supporting Ukraine’s economic resilience amid ongoing geopolitical challenges. Svyrydenko emphasized the potential for the fund to catalyze infrastructure development, attract private sector investment, and create jobs, while Bessent highlighted the importance of U.S. financial and technical expertise in ensuring the project’s success. The U.S.-Ukraine Investment Fund is expected to play a pivotal role in advancing Ukraine’s economic recovery and long-term growth strategies, aligning with broader U.S. objectives to stabilize the region and promote sustainable development.
