Business environment in Ukraine

Ukraine is an important economic partner for Canada. The two countries have a bilateral free trade agreement (CUFTA), signed in 2017 and modernized in 2023, that eliminated tariffs in key sectors such as agri-food, infrastructure, energy, metals and mining, and digital technologies. Export Development Canada (EDC) is closely monitoring the impact of Russia’s destructive war on Ukraine, which has targeted Ukraine’s infrastructure and severely disrupted its trade and investment environment. Ukraine is facing a significant and growing reconstruction challenge. Supported by CUFTA, Canadian companies will have many opportunities to help Ukraine rebuild.
