Ukraine is set to hold a major recovery conference on July 10, with thousands of businesses, investors, and global leaders gathering in Rome. The event is expected to focus on the future of the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal, which has been a key part of Ukraine’s efforts to revive its economy and attract international investment. This agreement, which covers Ukraine’s natural resources, including oil, gas, and defense projects, has the potential to significantly boost the country’s economic prospects. Despite some progress, including the launch of the Dobra lithium mine as a pilot project, businesses are still waiting for more clarity on how to access investment opportunities and navigate the regulatory landscape. Ukrainian companies like Velta and BGV are optimistic about the conference’s potential to drive real investment, while U.S. partners like TechMet and Ronald Lauder are also expected to play a major role. The DFC is also offering war risk insurance to attract investors, highlighting the potential for significant economic growth through this partnership. Overall, the conference is seen as a crucial step in Ukraine’s efforts to secure long-term investment and economic stability.
