The World Bank, in cooperation with the Government of Ukraine, the EU, and the UN, released the updated Ukraine Recovery and Reconstruction Needs Assessment (RDNA-4) covering the period up to December 31, 2024.
According to the report, the total cost of recovery is estimated at $524 billion, a 24% increase compared to the previous 2023 assessment.
Sectors with the highest recovery needs:
- Housing — $84 billion
- Transport — $78 billion
- Energy — $68 billion
- Industry and Trade — $64 billion
- Agriculture — $55 billion
RDNA-4 emphasizes that 30–35% of investment needs can be financed by the private sector, including through public-private partnerships, risk insurance, and guarantee programs provided by IFC and MIGA.
At the same time, the focus shifts to the “Build Back Better” approach — combining recovery with modernization and green growth.
“Ukraine is moving from reactive recovery to planned economic growth. Mobilizing private capital is critical to ensuring the sustainability of this process,”
— the World Bank stated.
Unicorn Capital supports the RDNA-4 principles and views them as a framework for structuring projects in key sectors — energy, infrastructure, industry, and technology.
The company stands ready to facilitate international investors’ entry into the Ukrainian market through structured instruments and partnerships with governmental and financial institutions.
