In the first four months of 2025, Ukraine received only $700 million in direct foreign investments.

This is nearly four times less than in the same period of 2024, when inflows reached $2.4 billion.

The primary reason for this decline is changes in currency regulations. Last year, the National Bank of Ukraine allowed companies to repatriate foreign currency to service external debts and pay dividends accrued after January 1, 2024.

The majority of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ukraine consists of reinvested profits, which have seen the most significant decline. Compared to the previous year, the volume of such investments dropped by 5.3 times.
