The government has approved 149 investment projects: what the state funds will go to in 2026.

According to inkorr.com: The Strategic Investment Council has approved the Unified Project Portfolio of Public Investments of Ukraine for 2026, which includes 149 projects and programs in important sectors of the economy. This was announced by the Minister of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine Oleksiy Sobolev.

The portfolio has been formed based on the Medium-Term Plan for Priority Public Investments for 2026-2028 and for the first time combines both programs and projects of public investments.

Sobolev noted: 'The Unified Project Portfolio reflects key government priorities. These can soon be viewed on the DREAM platform. This will make the use of budget funds more transparent, strengthen the trust of citizens and international partners, and open new opportunities for investments.'

Based on sectoral and expert assessments, 89 projects and 60 programs have been included in the portfolio. Among them are 75 ongoing projects and programs that were funded in 2025, as well as 74 new initiatives.

Key Areas of the Portfolio

The approved portfolio covers 11 main areas: environment, energy, housing, municipal infrastructure and services, education and science, healthcare, legal activities and judiciary, public services and digitalization, public finances, social sphere, and transport.

During the formation of the portfolio, new approaches to the management of public investments have been applied. Clearer requirements have been established for the preparation of projects and programs, and improved assessment criteria have been introduced, which take into account strategic feasibility, financial justification, and socio-economic impact.

The Minister emphasized that the approval of the portfolio is an important step in reforming the management of public investments, which this year also includes regional and local levels. These innovations open up opportunities for attracting private investments through public-private partnership mechanisms.

The comments and explanations from the Minister of Economy testify to the importance of this step in improving the management of nationwide projects. The new approach to forming the portfolio, considering strategic goals, demonstrates a commitment to bring project solutions closer to the needs of citizens and ensure a more effective use of state resources.
