London Conference: Will there be projects, and the funding?

Centre for Economic Strategy (CES) together with the German Economic Team (GET) invite you to join the June 2023 Economic Review with a special theme for the month: “London Conference: Will there be projects, and the funding?”

The event will take place on July 6 at 15:00 (CEST) on the Zoom platform.

For more than a year, CES has been preparing monthly reviews of Ukraine’s economy during a full-scale war.

In this review, we will assess the Ukrainian Recovery Conference that recently took place in London on June 21-22. What has Ukraine been able to achieve as a result of this event? Will the government, together with civil society and international partners, be able to bring ambitious recovery plans into reality?

Additionally, as is customary, we will review the major changes in the country’s economy for the month of June.

Reports for previous months are available on our website. For a visualization of the most important data for the month, see our Ukraine War Economy Tracker.
