Watch the first two sessions from this event.

Chatham House in partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is convening a high-level conference to discuss the roadmap for Ukraine’s economic recovery. The destruction caused by the Russian invasion is staggering. After four years of war the total cost of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine is almost $588 billion. Sustaining economic stability in war time and preparing for the most ambitious economic recovery project of the century, require effective collaboration of Ukrainian state, western donors, private sector and wider civil society. Ukraine’s integration with the EU and deep structural reforms could catalyse economic growth and enable social recovery and industrial reconstruction.

  • How can Ukraine and its international partners develop security arrangements that provide credible long term assurances and strengthen regional stability?
  • Which reforms could strengthen Ukraine’s economic growth and support a more predictable and competitive business environment? How to sustain momentum on the way to full membership in the EU?
  • How can Ukraine position itself competitively in emerging European value chains?

The first two sessions of the conference will be livestreamed via Chatham House’s YouTube page.

This conference is supported by European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
