“In the middle of last year, we began to consider new investments. This year we plan to make about $ 100 million new investments,” said the owner and CEO Tomasz File at the organized analytical center “We Build Ukraine” in Kyiv on Tuesday, the Logistics Conference as Drever Economic Growth Conference.
The businessman added that mostly it will be financed at the expense of his own money and share capital of co -investors, while the smaller part, “may be about the fourth part”, will be borrowed from debt.
He said that from $ 700 million in 2015-2021, the share of debt financing was about a third-up to $ 250 million, of which 80% were already repaid, but there were also a large part of private Western investors-European or US.
“We really believe that 2025 is the first year during the war, when we have a much better macroeconomic predictability. We (Ukraine-IF-U) have fully received committee to finance our budget deficit throughout the 2025th year and almost for the whole 2026 year,” the filament explained.
He recalled that Ukraine’s funding for $ 50 billion by ERA tools at the expense of frozen Russian assets, the total confirmed funding of the country is $ 56 billion against the need to finance the budget deficit-2025 $ 40 billion
“This is not the case, but if it happens, it takes almost $ 10 billion less than money,” says Dragon Capital owner.
He added that given this situation in 2025 it is already possible to predict a sufficiently stable course and growth of the economy: under the conditions of continuation of the war-by 3%, and under the conditions of its completion-by 5-7%.
“Not only do we pay attention to the negotiations of the truce. You can look at such a” barometer ” – these are prices of Ukrainian Eurobonds that are traded in London. These are dozens of foreign investors who estimate the risks of Ukraine. The prices for these bonds have grown for the last 2 years, but this growth has accelerated.”
According to him, new investors evaluate Ukrainian risk due to sovereignty Eurobonds, focusing on yielding at the level of 13-14% per annum – it is under such percentages that they are ready to buy the debt of the Ukrainian government.
