the local airports (both airside and passenger terminals)

Investment Opportunities in Ukraine Transport Sector Related to EURO 2012
Road sector State Road Program is approved by the Government
Key sources of funding: state budget, loans from IFIs and commercial banks under sovereign guarantees, private investments
Good opportunities for contractors: volume of road works to reach about $2 bn p.a
Some opportunities for concessions, but specific projects are yet to be prepared
Investment Opportunities in Ukraine Transport Sector Related to EURO 2012
Railways Railway infrastructure is state owned, no plans for
privatization, but gradual opening of the sector to private business starting from non-core activities
Key opportunities for the private business at this stage:
For investors: leasing of the rolling stock (freight, passenger, locomotives)
For contractors: reconstruction of stations, tunnels, bridges, electrification of the lines
Investment Opportunities in Ukraine Municipal Sector Related to EURO 2012
Key features Good base infrastructure in all hosting cities, but huge
investment needs in upgrade and rehabilitation
Utilities are predominately owned by municipalities with limited private sector involvement in such areas as urban transport and waste management
Tariffs are usually below cost recovery
Limited opportunities for concessions (weak regulatory basis, political pressure)
EBRD in Ukraine Municipal Sector
Water / waste water project in Zaporizhzhia – USD 28 mln Water / waste water project in Dnipropetrovsk – EUR 20 mln Public transport project in Kyiv – EUR 100 mln In preparation:
– District heating projects in Cherkasy, Odessa, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk and Zhytomyr
– Water and wastewater projects in Yalta and Zhytomyr Total EBRD financing for projects signed and under
preparation is around EUR 225 million
Investment Opportunities in Ukraine Tourism Sector Related to EURO 2012
Key features Most of the hosting cities are “underhoteled”
All products are in demand: 2*/3*/4*/5*, international chains, boutiques, business class, hostels, out of city resorts
Private sector – to play a key role
Green light from the authorities (hopefully!) - municipalities are under pressure to deliver
Alternative solutions might be a success (e.g. sea-river cruise ships for overflow guests in Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa)
