In the context of the ongoing war, Ukraine’s economy demonstrates relative stability; however, further economic development has effectively come to a halt. Businesses are largely refraining from investing in new projects, with the exception of certain sectors that have managed to benefit from the wartime situation.

Impact of the War and External Support on Ukraine’s Economy
Currently, the economic stability of the country is largely ensured by financial assistance from Western partners. However, in the future, this support may prove insufficient to ensure the necessary growth. Economic forecasts for 2025 were largely based on the expectation of the war ending in the summer. However, today, the positive impact of this factor on the economy is no longer considered, although some hopes for positive changes remain for 2026.

Successful Sectors of the Economy
Due to the uncertainty of the future, most enterprises have cut their expenses, using the profits generated solely to support current operations. The efforts of the government and businesses are focused on maintaining stability rather than on expansion or development.
At the same time, there are sectors that are demonstrating success even under challenging conditions. The banking sector remains stable thanks to reforms implemented prior to the war. Among the leaders is the renewable energy sector, particularly biofuel production, which is experiencing a significant boom due to the specifics of wartime. The military-industrial complex is also expected to grow.
