American-Ukrainian Reconstruction Fund
The American-Ukrainian Reconstruction Fund will begin its activities in 2026. Ukraine and the United States have completed the stage of forming the fund, during which a regulatory framework and management bodies were created in 2025. It is expected that in 2026 the fund will move on to financing actual business projects.
On May 1, 2025, a strategic agreement was signed between Yulia Svyrydenko and Scott Bessent, which was an important step in the establishment of the fund. The official launch of the fund took place on May 23 with initial capital of 150 million dollars. The first meetings of the Fund's Supervisory Board were held on September 3, and on November 14, the investment advisory company Alvarez & Marsal was appointed. On December 18, the Board of Directors approved the final investment protocols.
Plans for 2026
In January 2026, the launch of a public website is planned, which will allow for the submission of business proposals. The fund will focus on several key sectors, including:
- critical materials
- energy
- logistics
- IT technologies
The ambitious goal for 2026 is to make the first investment decisions and launch three pilot projects by December 2026.
“In 2025, we effectively built the institutional framework of the Fund from scratch to make it a practical tool for strategic partnership.”

The launch of the American-Ukrainian Reconstruction Fund in 2026 signals a deepening of economic ties between Ukraine and the United States. The fund aims to support Ukrainian businesses, which is particularly important in the face of current economic challenges. Focusing on critical sectors such as energy and IT technologies can not only aid recovery but also modernize the Ukrainian economy, which in turn will positively impact the overall stability of the country.
