Poroshenko outlines three Ukrainian sectors attracting powerful investments

"Over the past weeks, Ukraine attracted large investments in the economy: in the renewable energy sector from Norwegian investors, in the agricultural sector from a Saudi Arabia company, into retail trade from Swedish brands H&M and IKEA," President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko posted on Facebook.

The current investment boom in Ukraine is a clear indication of world investors’ credibility to Ukraine, the President stressed.

As reported, in September, the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC) acquired a large Ukrainian farming company Mriya Agro Holding, thus signing the largest contract in the agricultural sector in the history of Ukraine's independence.

Moreover, also in September, Norway invested almost half a billion dollars in development of renewable energy in the south of Ukraine.

IKEA will open its first store in Kyiv in 2019. Ukraine will become one of the first markets, along with France, Britain, Denmark, the United States and China, on which IKEA will open a store in a new format. This will be an IKEA store smaller in size and located in the central part of the city, with the possibility of ordering goods online.
