On July 2, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the Medium-Term Plan for Priority Public Investments for 2026–2028. The document was approved by the Strategic Investment Council and adopted by the Government simultaneously with the approval of the Budget Declaration for 2026–2028.

The plan aims to optimize the use of budget resources, increase transparency in the spending of public funds, and strengthen the integration of investments into the strategic planning system. This approach will allow funding to be focused on priority projects and programs for citizens.

The plan covers 12 priority areas, including transport, energy, housing, municipal infrastructure, health care, education and science, legal activities and the judiciary, public finances, the environment, public services and digitalization, public safety, and the social sphere.

It is these sectors that will be the focus of public investment over the next three years. The sectors were selected taking into account the needs, priorities, and budgetary capabilities of the state, as well as in accordance with the requirements of the Budget Code.

Fifty-one priority areas have also been identified, which are consistent with Ukraine’s Recovery Plan, the State Strategy for Regional Development, and relevant sectoral strategies.

Particular emphasis is placed on cross-cutting strategic objectives — energy efficiency, climate adaptation, gender equality, and accessibility.

The volume of public investment funding for 2026–2028 is UAH 581.3 billion, including:

• UAH 214.7 billion in 2026;
• UAH 197.2 billion in 2027;
• UAH 169.4 billion in 2028.

Public investments of UAH 581.3 billion for 2026–2028 will be provided by:

• UAH 234.2 billion — the general fund of the state budget;
• UAH 248.1 billion — funds under state guarantees;
• UAH 91.4 billion — resources from international financial organizations and foreign governments;
• UAH 6.9 billion — State Fund for Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Transformation;
• UAH 0.6 billion — State Fund for Radioactive Waste Management;
• UAH 0.1 billion — State Fund for Water Management Development.

Only initiatives that correspond to the specified areas and guarantee transparency and effectiveness of spending will be eligible for budget funding.

The priority areas for public investment were identified based on proposals from sectoral ministries and taking into account relevant sectoral strategies, the State Strategy for Regional Development of Ukraine, the results of the Rapid Needs Diagnosis (RDNA4), the Ukraine Facility, and the priorities identified by the Ukrainian Donor Platform.

The medium-term plan sets out priorities that allow public funds to be effectively directed towards projects that are most important for the country.

It forms the basis for the preparation and evaluation of investment projects and the creation of a Single State Portfolio of Public Investments.
