Ministry of Economy of Ukraine on the joint US-Ukraine investment fund: work is progressing

Work on the American-Ukrainian investment fund is progressing. This was stated by the Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine Oleksiy Sobolev in an interview with Bloomberg TV, reports UNN.

Details”The fund’s work is progressing very well,” Sobolev said.

Sobolev said that a US delegation is to visit Ukraine in September to decide which companies will benefit from the first investments of the American-Ukrainian mineral fund.

According to him, Ukraine will also auction more licenses so that American or other companies can extract minerals and receive investments from the fund. This includes this week’s announcement of bidding for the extraction of a large lithium deposit.

“This is one of the industries that we believe would be interesting for American companies for the fund to invest in,” Sobolev said.
