Capital investment in Ukraine increased by 20.3 percent in 2025, reaching 893.6 billion hryvnias, according to the State Statistics Service. Industry took the largest share of investment, accounting for more than a third of the total.
The data show that companies and public-sector customers continued to put money into physical assets despite war risks and slower overall economic growth. Agriculture, transport, storage, public administration and defense were also among the major investment areas.
Where the money went
Almost all capital investment was directed into tangible assets. The largest categories were machinery, equipment and inventory, followed by engineering structures and non-residential buildings. Most spending went toward acquiring or creating new assets rather than only maintaining existing ones.
Regional concentration remains high. Kyiv attracted the largest volume, while Dnipropetrovsk region also ranked among the leaders. This reflects both economic scale and the uneven geography of investment during wartime.
The figures point to a cautious but real modernization cycle. For Ukraine, the quality of investment will matter as much as the total amount: new equipment, resilient infrastructure and productive assets can support recovery only if they translate into capacity, jobs and exports.
