Ukraines’ post-war recovery and reconstruction needs are expected to be extremely high – estimated at about USD 349 billion. These funds will be needed to restore public services, repair damaged infrastructure, and sustain economic activity through investments in agribusiness, manufacturing, infrastructure, and many other areas. Private sector export-oriented companies across the world, including Latvia, can support Ukraine's reconstruction efforts by implementing projects financed and procured by the IFIs, benefiting from a variety of financial and risk-sharing instruments.

The main objective of this workshop is to introduce the Latvian private sector to the IFI’s – IBRD, IFC, MIGA, EBRD, EIB, NIB, CEB operations and upcoming reconstruction project pipeline in Ukraine, along with presenting IFI’s financial and risk-sharing instruments in Ukraine and other developing countries. The workshop will also present an opportunity to deepen knowledge on practical engagement in IFIs project procurement and implementation through sharing the best practices and responding to individual questions of participants.

The workshop is hosted by the Latvian Ministry of Finance in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LTRK), Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA), Employers’ Confederation of Latvia (LDDK), AmCham Latvia.
