As public opinion in Central and Eastern Europe shifts towards peace negotiations, businesses strategise for post-war investments in Ukraine’s reconstruction and EU integration.
President Donald Trump’s freeze on foreign aid has cast doubt over infrastructure and economic projects in Ukraine. The European Union is taking a different approach. The European Investment Bank (EIB) just announced nearly €1 billion in investments for Ukraine’s public and private sectors, signalling a shift toward business-led recovery.
This creates opportunities for Central and Eastern European (CEE) businesses. With their proximity and existing trade links, companies in Poland, Czechia and Slovakia are well placed to take part in reconstruction.
This text examines how Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Poland, Czechia and Slovakia view Ukraine’s reconstruction opportunities amid increasing public scepticism in the region.
