The Role of Banks in Implementing Ukraine’s Investment Strategy

Abstract

The post-war recovery of Ukraine will depend on the content of the investment strategy, an essential condition for the implementation of which is the active involvement of banks in these processes. As an important element of the economic system, the banking system has a significant impact on the processes of reproduction and growth, providing credit to the real sector of the economy. Investment lending is one of banks' most important functions; however, even before the war, the banking system did not have sufficient financial resources for this. The ability of banks to direct resources to investments depends on the action of many factors and requires an appropriate level of development stability. The process of banks attracting financial resources is complex, as is their further use. Investments are not a priority for banks, but they are of strategic importance for the development of the economy.
