According to the sixth KPMG CEO Outlook in Ukraine, part of an annual global survey of business leaders that KPMG first conducted 10 years ago, the level of CEO confidence in the country's growth prospects in 2024 had increased compared to where they were in 2022: up from 44% to 46%. For more context, this figure is more than twice as high as 2020, where CEO growth confidence was a mere 20%.
Despite the impact of Russia’s full-scale invasion and the ensuing geopolitical and economic uncertainty, Ukrainian business has demonstrated unprecedented resilience and continues to grow, with a market that is more open to investment than ever.
In such times, navigating the Ukrainian business landscape can be complex but also rewarding, and our guidance can give you the clarity you need to take on both challenges and opportunities.
We offer a comprehensive guide to help you deal with issues such as how to start a business in Ukraine, what you need to know about tax regulations, how currency restrictions might affect your business, how to insure your company against war risks, what the rules are regarding investment legislation, how to obtain all the necessary licences and permits, and many other useful insights that will help you simplify your business decisions.
We also provide you with a broad macroeconomic overview of Ukraine and explore the country’s key industries to better support your strategic planning.
