MTB Bank at Forbes Money 2025: first-hand insights

Today, MTB Bank's Chairman of the Board Yuriy Kralov attended the Forbes Money forum in Kyiv — an event that brought together leading experts in the financial sector, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Main topics of discussion:
How global events affect the Ukrainian economy
What will be the focus of investors in 2025
What new tools are available for private and portfolio investments even in wartime

Yuriy shared the key messages of the forum:

Who is the main investor in Ukraine today?
— Ukrainians. It is Ukrainian citizens and businesses that remain the main source of capital.
Most investments — these are reinvested funds, and the volume of new foreign investments does not yet exceed $500 million per year.

Sectors that require special financial
support:
– Energy and new generation
– Agricultural sector and product processing

What is needed for a breakthrough?
— Transparent and equal rules of the game for everyone
— Creation of an internal stock market

And most importantly - an effective tool for insuring
  military risks. This will be the key to the confidence of investors, both internal and external.

MTB Bank actively participates in such strategic events to better understand the future and shape decisions today.
