11 Investment Opportunities in Ukraine Transport Sector Related to EURO 2012 Road sector  State Road Program is approved by the Government  Key sources of funding: state budget, loans from IFIs and commercial banks under sovereign guarantees, private investments  Good opportunities for contractors: volume of road works to reach about $2 bn p.a  Some opportunities for concessions, but specific projects are yet to be prepared

12 Investment Opportunities in Ukraine Transport Sector Related to EURO 2012 Railways  Railway infrastructure is state owned, no plans for privatization, but gradual opening of the sector to private business starting from non-core activities  Key opportunities for the private business at this stage:  For investors: leasing of the rolling stock (freight, passenger, locomotives)  For contractors: reconstruction of stations, tunnels, bridges, electrification of the lines

13 Investment Opportunities in Ukraine Municipal Sector Related to EURO 2012 Key features  Good base infrastructure in all hosting cities, but huge investment needs in upgrade and rehabilitation  Utilities are predominately owned by municipalities with limited private sector involvement in such areas as urban transport and waste management  Tariffs are usually below cost recovery  Limited opportunities for concessions (weak regulatory basis, political pressure)
