Ukraine has deposits of numerous minerals that are classified as critical and/or strategic by its key allies. The country has now developed and is close to adopting its own Critical Minerals Strategy.
Transforming resource and industrial potential into projects ready for financing requires regulatory certainty, risk mitigation mechanisms, institutional capacity, compliance with ESG standards, and harmonization with best industry practices.
