In 2025, the Kyiv region became the leader among Ukraine’s regions in terms of economic development, significantly outpacing other areas in the transition from stabilization to growth. At the beginning of 2026, there are about 230,000 business entities operating in the region, with an increase of 25,000 new taxpayers over the year. This indicates that entrepreneurs not only maintained their activity but also continued to expand their businesses, register new companies, invest, and create jobs.

Main Growth Sectors and the Role of Relocated Enterprises
The most dynamic sectors included logistics, manufacturing, agro-processing, light industry, as well as enterprises relocated from frontline regions. This diversification ensured a stable influx of investments and contributed to the development of the domestic labor market.
Budget Revenues and Business Support
According to the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, in 2025, the region achieved record levels of budget revenues. A total of 80.8 billion UAH was transferred to the consolidated budget, which is 32% more compared to 2024. Local budgets received nearly 35 billion UAH, which is 6.8 billion UAH more than last year. Significant contributions to these results came from support for small and medium-sized businesses.
Within the framework of the “5-7-9” program, 240 enterprises received compensation for part of the interest on investment loans last year. The total support from the regional budget amounted to 20 million UAH. These mechanisms allowed businesses to upgrade equipment, expand production, maintain employment, and plan development for several years ahead.
Another important factor was the industrial parks: in 2025 alone, four new sites were established in the region, bringing the total number to 16. This creates additional opportunities for attracting investors and developing production.
According to data from the National Bank of Ukraine, in the first half of 2025, the volume of foreign direct investment in the Kyiv region reached 2.77 billion USD, which is 8% higher than the figures at the end of 2024. Over the nine months of 2025, enterprises in the region utilized 40 billion UAH in capital investments, highlighting investor confidence and the resilience of the local economy.
