During the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 (URC2026) in Gdańsk, Chairman of the State Property Fund of Ukraine Dmytro Natalukha participated in the panel discussion, "State Assets as an Opportunity to Stimulate Investment in Key Sectors of the Economy."

 

Together with representatives of the Government of Ukraine, international financial institutions, the banking sector, and the Government of Poland, participants discussed the role of state assets in attracting investment, modernizing the economy, and accelerating Ukraine's recovery.

 

During the session, the Chairman of the State Property Fund presented Ukraine's largest privatization opportunities for international investors over the next 12–24 months.

 

Among the flagship assets currently being prepared for the market are:

 

Demurinsky Mining and Processing Plant — one of Ukraine's leading producers of titanium and zirconium;

Mykolaiv Alumina Plant — one of the largest alumina refineries in Europe;

Motordetal-Konotop — one of Europe's largest manufacturers of cylinder liners for internal combustion engines;

Odesa Portside Plant — one of Eastern Europe's largest fertilizer producers;

Ocean Plaza Shopping and Entertainment Center — one of Kyiv's largest shopping malls and one of Ukraine's most prominent sanctioned assets.

Special attention was given to the core principles of Ukraine's privatization program: transparency, competition, and equal conditions for all participants.

 

"Today, Ukraine is offering investors much more than individual assets. We are providing early access to the sectors that will shape the country's recovery economy—critical minerals, industry, logistics, energy, infrastructure, and financial services. The next two years present a unique investment window that may not be repeated once large-scale reconstruction is fully underway," emphasized the Chairman of the State Property Fund.

 

The discussion also showcased new initiatives aimed at attracting investors to Ukraine's state sector, including a national investment opportunities catalogue and expanded international technical assistance to support privatization reforms.

 

Today, privatization is far more than the sale of state-owned assets. It is a mechanism for attracting private capital, advanced technologies, modern management practices, and creating the foundation for Ukraine's long-term economic growth.

 

The State Property Fund continues its systematic efforts to transform state assets into magnets for investment, making privatization one of the key drivers of Ukraine's economic recovery, modernization, and integration into the global economy.

 

The State Property Fund also extends its sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine for the outstanding organization of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026. We are grateful to Oleksii Sobolev, Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, Dariia Marchak, Deputy Minister, and the entire team for their tremendous preparatory work and for consistently keeping privatization among Ukraine's highest national priorities.

 

Thanks to your professionalism, Ukraine continues to demonstrate to the international community not only its resilience, but also its readiness for major investment, long-term partnerships, and sustainable economic growth.
