Brussels, 10 July (LaPresse) – "The new partnership with Ukraine will also play a key role in promoting private sector investment, which will be crucial for reconstruction. And we will be able to build on solid foundations. I am particularly pleased to announce today the European Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, the largest equity fund in the world supporting reconstruction. It will boost investment in energy, transport, essential raw materials and dual-use industries. We are literally investing in Ukraine's future, using public money to attract large-scale private investment and contribute to the country's reconstruction. I am particularly pleased to be building this together with Italy, Germany, France, Poland and the European Investment Bank. And I am confident that others will want to join us. The Ukrainian people are ready to lead their country's economy into the future. The time to invest is now." These are the words of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her speech at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2025) in Rome.
