following CEPA signing

Published Tuesday, February 18, 2025 By WAM

Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, hosted a business roundtable that brought together UAE
government officials, leading UAE businesses, and investment groups with a high-ranking Ukrainian delegation led by Yuliia
Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy.

The meeting focused on exploring promising investment opportunities in Ukraine, with a particular emphasis on infrastructure projects,
under the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the two nations.

The UAE-Ukraine CEPA, signed in the presence of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, aims to strengthen bilateral trade relations and investment flows between the two nations and is
expected to add approximately US$369 million to the UAE's GDP and US$874 million to Ukraine's GDP by 2031.

The CEPA will also help to accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery, creating new opportunities for collaboration across sectors such as
infrastructure, heavy industry, aviation, and information technology.
