KYIV, March 12 - With the final entry into force of the EU carbon tax (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, CBAM), potential losses of investment in the Ukrainian economy in 2026-2030 could amount to $2.7 billion, according to a study by GMK Center.

"The European Union is currently Ukraine’s main trading partner. The introduction of CBAM will create additional obstacles for domestic companies supplying goods to the bloc. In 2024, the value of Ukrainian exports to the EU amounted to $24.8 billion, of which 14.5% is subject to the carbon border adjustment mechanism," reads the report.
