Ukraine’s Deal Market Resilient Amid Investor Hesitation
Despite international investor hesitation, Ukraine’s merger and acquisition market has shown resilience, with 45 deals totaling $806 million in the first nine months of 2025. This represents an 8% increase compared to the same period last year, highlighting the country’s ongoing attractiveness to global investors despite geopolitical uncertainties.
Ukraine’s business environment, supported by favorable government policies and reforms aimed at improving the investment climate, has played a significant role in maintaining activity in the M&A sector. These efforts have fostered confidence among corporate entities looking to expand their operations or acquire assets in the region.
The disclosed value of the deals underscores the potential for significant long-term economic growth and job creation. However, analysts caution that while the market remains active, the pace of deal-making may still be influenced by broader geopolitical developments and international sanctions against Russian entities.
