The potential of financing the reconstruction of the Ukrainian economy taking into account ESG criteria


Introduction. In 2022, in the conditions of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, a security component acquires special importance also at the global level. In Ukraine, there is a need to restore and rebuild the economy, based on new technologies, alternative raw materials and with the formation of new chains of interaction. After all, it is the qualitative renewal that will contribute to maintaining the position of the national economy on international markets, where ESG criteria are taken into account when making investment decisions.
Problem Statement. Assessment of the prospects of attracting financial resources for the purposes of comprehensive recovery of the economy of Ukraine, taking into account the priorities determined at the national level.
Purpose. To substantiate proposals for the selection of possible sources of financing for the reconstruction of the economy of Ukraine, namely, qualitative recovery, based on the preservation of the appropriate level of environmental, social and managerial components, to determine possible ways of integrating ESG criteria into the development of the domestic economy.
Methods. General scientific and special methods were used, in particular: scientific abstraction and epistemological (content) analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, analogies and systematization, system-structural analysis, expert evaluation method, index and grouping methods.
Results. The article examines the directions of post-war economic reconstruction in the world, in particular, the Marshall Plan for Western Europe after the Second World War and the case of the reconstruction of South Korea after the Korean War. In addition, the study emphasizes the directions and priorities of the recovery of the economy of Ukraine. Given the possibilities of combining recovery and ESG criteria, it is proposed to consider specific funds within the framework of the pyramid of economic recovery of Ukraine. In particular, the possibilities of financing through the efforts of state funds, examples of the creation of business funds and successful foreign experience of grant financing and crowdfunding are determined.
Conclusions. Reconstruction of the national economy is possible due to the transition of basic economic and social processes to a qualitatively new level. For this, it is important to combine financing opportunities for ESG projects in Ukraine at different levels, taking into account international experience. The study of the financing potential of the reconstruction of the economy of Ukraine, taking into account the ESG criteria, makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the activation of socio-economic development and future growth, in particular, possible directions and sources of stimulation in the context of the implementation of ESG projects by the efforts of domestic stakeholders. Thus, the integration of ESG principles into the processes of post-war economic recovery of Ukraine is inevitable.
