Infrastructure: Cross Border Trade & Logistics

Cross-border trade and logistics are crucial for Ukraine’s economy helping its large industrial base and educated workforce reach global markets. However, challenges such as rail shortages in neighboring countries and limited customs capacity have hamstrung Ukrainian exports. Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Ukraine offers tremendous opportunities for businesses engaged in cross-border logistics. In addition, quality transport and logistics infrastructure connected to the European Union increase accessibility and efficiency of other economic transformation efforts.
