State and Business: A New Level of Partnership for Economic Growth

Effective synergy between the public sector and private capital is becoming the foundation for the recovery of the Ukrainian economy. Recently, the Chairman of the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), Dmytro Natalukha, along with his team, held an extended meeting with representatives of the Ukrainian Business Council. The main goal of the dialogue was to discuss the strategic directions of the Fund's work: from the sale of large industrial facilities to the implementation of innovative digital tools for state property management.

During the meeting, Dmytro Natalukha focused on the preparation for the privatization of the largest state assets. The Chairman of the Fund emphasized that large-scale privatization is not simply the sale of property, but the attraction of responsible owners capable of breathing new life into enterprises, modernizing them, preserving their core activities, and creating new jobs. Special attention was paid to the mechanisms of public-private partnership, which allow for combining state resources and business expertise to implement large-scale infrastructure projects, while maintaining strategic state control where necessary.

An important part of the discussion was the report by the Deputy Chair of the SPFU, Yuliia Yusupzhanova, regarding the "Land Bank" project. She detailed the results of the past year, noting significant revenues to the state budget from the lease of agricultural land through transparent auctions. According to the Deputy Chair, a clear list of lands ready to be leased has currently been formed, however, there are certain legal complications with specific plots, which the team is working to resolve together with relevant departments. Further scaling of the project is planned for 2026, which will allow bringing even more areas into transparent circulation.

The digital transformation of processes within the Fund became another key topic of discussion: plans include launching an interactive map of privatization objects and modernizing the Unified Register of State Property. To implement these IT solutions, the SPFU is actively looking for strategic partners and investors ready to finance the development of these solutions. Representatives of the Ukrainian Business Council supported these initiatives and expressed their readiness to assist by providing professional expertise for the implementation of these initiatives.

Representatives of the Ukrainian Business Council took an active part in the discussion, asking practical questions and offering their own advice on improving asset management mechanisms. As a result of the meeting, the parties recorded a shared vision for future work and agreed on ongoing cooperation. Such interaction will help make state property management transparent, attract new investments, and strengthen the Ukrainian economy as a whole.
