Shmyhal noted great potential in the energy sector of Ukraine, gas production and storage, as well as in hydropower. Another important sector of the Ukrainian economy is the military industry.

"European and global defence companies are increasingly considering options for building new production facilities in Ukraine. After the war, we expect a great boost in the development of this sector in Ukraine," the Prime Minister added.

Shmyhal also said that after the war, the growth of agriculture could double. He also considers infrastructure to be another promising industry branch.
