The Ukrainian economy is showing significant positive changes, particularly in the development of high-tech sectors. According to Deputy Minister of Economy Daria Marchak, despite the challenging conditions of the full-scale war, the country continues to move away from a raw material model and is increasing its potential in areas with high added value.

Dynamics of Growth in High-Value-Added Production
During the first 10 months of 2025, the share of high-tech manufacturing in total industry reached 4.5%, while in 2021 this figure was only 2.4%. This trend indicates a doubling of growth in recent years. Particularly noticeable progress is observed in machine engineering: the share of the technological sector in this industry increased from 5.7% in 2021 to 9% in 2025.
Strategic Directions for Development
To support sustainable economic growth, the government is focusing on three main areas:
- Protection of investments and recovery, particularly through military risk insurance and the implementation of new support mechanisms for businesses affected by the aggression of the Russian Federation.
- Stimulating the development of the manufacturing industry through grant programs.
- Preparing the Ukrainian economy for accession to the European Union.
“Over the past year, the country has significantly increased its potential in high-value-added sectors, indicating a gradual shift away from the raw material model. The key driver has been the development of domestic machine engineering and the processing industry.”
