KYIV, May 16 – Ukraine’s five-year recovery period after the war will require additional investments of about $50 billion a year due to the inflow of foreign capital, including private, such a scenario was outlined by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in the Regional Economic Prospects report published on Tuesday.
"For swift recovery, foreign capital inflows need to reach $ 50 billion a year for five years. A swift recovery is not the norm. Historically, most economies emerging from an armed conflict neither enjoy 25 years of lasting peace afterwards nor recover to their pre-war trend level of income per capita, even in the long term. But, the report says, 29% of economies do achieve their pre-war trend level of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita within five years," the bank said.
