Summit Talk "Ukraine - Economic Opportunities in Light of the EU Accession Process"

Ukraine, an EU candidate since June 2022, is deepening its political and economic ties with the EU, including through the Eastern Partnership. To support Ukraine's recovery and EU accession, the EU has established a coordinated mechanism for 2024-2027, focusing on reforms, macro-financial stability, and private sector investments. This Summit Talk aims to provide a deeper insight into Ukraine's EU accession process and the implementation of the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF), in particular the opportunities and possibilities that this opens up for the German economy.

• David Denzer Speck, Director of the KfW Liaison Office to the EU
