Germany's Scholz: Ukraine needs 500 billion USD
445 sats \ 15 comments \ @TomK 11 Jun econ
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has urged significant investments in Ukraine at a recent reconstruction conference. He committed to advocating for extensive aid from G7 nations to support Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia. Scholz emphasized the need for private sector investment alongside government funds to effectively rebuild the nation. He assured continuous support for Ukraine and rejected the notion of a military or enforced peace settlement.
"The country's reconstruction and modernization will demand substantial investments, with the World Bank estimating nearly $500 billion over the next decade," Scholz stated. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also attended the two-day summit in Berlin.

The need for significant funding for the reconstruction was evident from the start. The pressing question is, how will they finance this endeavor? Will they resort to mortgaging their agricultural output?

Yep.. Blackrock is there already..
  • A Ukraine reconstruction bank being set up by Kyiv with help from BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase has at least $500 million in committed capital and could be ready to launch in 5-6 months with close to $1 billion, a senior Ukrainian official said on Wednesday.

We know very well how predatory are loans from the likes of World Bank. Ukraine has no chance to repay most of them and the agricultural infrastructure will be forfeit to foreign actors.
Ukraine stood as an agricultural powerhouse for centuries. Now Zelensky is willingly selling off his country to foreigners.

Okay, I can understand that Ukraine needs this for reconstruction. But, it's sad to listen from someone whose own country (a.k.a. his own land) needs to reconstruct as well, albeit on monetary grounds. What about Germany's falling Economy?
