Tuesday 14 April @ 9:30–11:00 CET

On Tuesday, ECR MEPs Małgorzata Gosiewska and Michał Dworczyk will host a high-level policy discussion on the state of the Ukraine Investment Framework and its role in supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction and long-term prosperity.

As the second pillar of the EU’s Ukraine Facility, the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF) plays a crucial role in driving recovery and modernisation by mobilising public and private investment, with the aim of generating up to €40 billion by 2027. This discussion will bring together European policymakers, representatives of international financial institutions, EU bodies, and the private sector to assess the current state of the UIF, evaluate progress in its implementation, and explore ways to further enhance its effectiveness in supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction.
