Norway allocates funds to support Ukraine: what the assistance will be spent on.


The Government of Norway has decided to invest around 250 million Norwegian kroner in the Norfund fund, which has started its operations in Ukraine. This news became known after a meeting between representatives of the Ukrainian government and the management of the Norwegian fund. According to a report from the Ministry of Finance, the Norwegian government has allowed Norfund to invest in Ukraine through the Nansen support program.
Investment strategies include supporting the private sector, creating jobs, enhancing economic resilience, financing renewable energy projects, and supporting production with export potential. According to Olga Zikova, engaging the private sector is a crucial step toward the recovery and economic growth of Ukraine.
Priorities for financial assistance
'To restore Ukraine over the next few years, more than 500 billion US dollars is needed. One of the key directions is to ensure housing, energy, social infrastructure, and other areas,' Zikova emphasized. Plans for increasing energy efficiency in construction and restoring damaged facilities through the Energy Efficiency Fund's support were also noted. Achieving these goals will help attract additional financial resources for Ukraine's development.
