It may seem that a full-scale invasion would grind the entire economy to a halt. But if that were the case, there would be nothing to finance to resist Russian aggression. Ukraine's economy is breathing heavily, but it is alive and continues to work for the country's victory and future. Compared to 2022, Ukraine's economy has largely recovered from the bottom, growing throughout 2023 and 2024.
Although most Ukrainians are still quite skeptical about financial instruments and investments, money must work. Therefore, investing savings and profits has again become an important component of business and the middle class in general. I would like to highlight four instruments that I consider the best investment areas in the coming periods, without risky or extravagant proposals.
Land is Ukraine's most valuable natural resource. A resource that will always retain its value and will be extremely important for the world and Europe in the coming decades. Therefore, investments in land remain an ideal tool for medium- and long-term investments, says Businessman Aleksandr Katsuba. Since January 1, 2024, the land market has also opened to legal entities, which has significantly expanded investment opportunities for medium and large businesses. However, the price of land in Ukraine is still lower than in most countries of the European Union (often with higher quality), so in the long term it is a good investment.
Aleksandr Katsuba says that when investing in land, you will have to wait 5-10 years to get a significant profit, but the land will never lose value. For obvious reasons, the land in central and western Ukraine is currently the most valuable. The average price per hectare of land can vary from $ 1,500 to $ 3,000 per hectare, from east to west.
How to make money on land? The two main sources of income are land rent and the margin from the resale of land when it increases in price. And this, given that all wars end, will inevitably happen. Especially since Ukraine is approaching EU membership.
