Washington, D.C., April 30, 2025. Ukraine and the United States have signed an Economic Partnership Agreement to establish the Reconstruction Investment Fund — an essential new instrument for mobilizing investment into Ukraine’s economic development and advancing the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership.
The Agreement was signed in Washington on April 30 by First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The Reconstruction Investment Fund will enable financing for critical projects in the development of natural resources, while also fostering innovation, technological development, and recovery.
The Agreement will benefit both nations. The United States will assist Ukraine in engaging both private and public investors in Ukraine’s recovery — including international funds, companies, and the governments that have consistently supported Ukraine during the full-scale war. The U.S. and American companies will hey access to vast new opportunities in the joint development of Ukraine’s natural resources and massive recovery process.
“This decision marks a new era in our cooperation with the United States. We are gaining not only investment, but also a strategic partner committed to working with us to drive economic growth and innovation,” said Yuliia Svyrydenko. “This Agreement is the outcome of extensive negotiations, and I am grateful to both negotiating teams for their professionalism and dedication. Together, we have developed a mutually beneficial framework. It also reflects the U.S. commitment to lasting peace in Ukraine and recognition of Ukraine’s contribution to global security.”
