$524 billion - that’s what #Ukraine needs for reconstruction. The private sector is key to making it happen. @Ifc_ines spoke with @FD_Nieuws about how IFC is helping drive recovery through investment and reform. #URC2025 👉 fd.nl/economie/15630… (in Dutch)

IFCEurope's tweet card. Voor de wederopbouw van Oekraïne zijn ook private partijen nodig. Europa-directeur Ines Rocha van de International Finance Corporation is optimistisch over de kansen om ze aan boord te krijgen.
