The laws that govern PPP and concessions, investment guarantees, dispute settlement and legal terms, with links to the official texts.
Checked on October 23, 2026Information, not legal advice
Since 31 October 2025, PPP in Ukraine has been governed by Law No. 4510-IX. It replaced the 2010 law on state-private partnership and rewrote the Concession Law. Only a public body can start and prepare a PPP or concession project, and private companies compete for it in a tender. Projects above EUR 12 million in listed sectors can receive state support, and foreign investors are covered by the guarantees of the 1996 foreign investment law, ICSID, the New York Convention and the Energy Charter Treaty. War-damage compensation under Law No. 2923-IX is paid for citizens' housing, not to businesses.
English title: On Public-Private Partnership
The main PPP law since 31 October 2025. It recognises two forms, a concession contract and a PPP contract (Art. 5). A project is prepared only on the initiative of the public partner (Art. 10(1)). The law also introduces below-threshold projects, for example PPP housing projects under EUR 5,538,000.
English title: On State-Private Partnership
The former law on state-private partnership. It lost force on 31 October 2025 on the basis of Law No. 4510-IX. It allowed a private initiator of a proposal, a concept the new law does not carry over.
English title: On Concession
Amended by Law No. 4510-IX. A concession project is now prepared only on the initiative of the concession grantor (Art. 5).
English title: On the Regime of Foreign Investment
Core guarantees for foreign investors. If the law changes, the investor may ask for the previous guarantees to apply for 10 years (Art. 8). Foreign investments are not subject to nationalisation, and requisition is possible only in emergencies (Art. 9). Losses are compensated, including lost profit (Art. 10). Disputes go to Ukrainian courts unless an international treaty provides otherwise, and other disputes may go to arbitration, including abroad (Art. 26).
English title: On State Support of Investment Projects with Significant Investments in Ukraine
Known as the investment nannies law. It offers state support for projects worth more than the equivalent of EUR 12 million in listed sectors such as processing industry, logistics, education, health care and tourism (Art. 5). It does not apply to projects that meet all the features of a PPP (Art. 2(4)).
English title: On Compensation for Damage and Destruction of Certain Categories of Real Estate as a Result of Hostilities, Terrorist Acts, Sabotage Caused by the Armed Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, and the State Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property
Compensation goes to individuals, citizens of Ukraine who own damaged or destroyed housing (Art. 2). Businesses are not recipients under this law, although the State Register (Art. 14) records any damaged movable or immovable property. Applications go through the eRecovery service in Diia.
Конституція України, ст. 41
Private property is inviolable. Forced alienation is allowed only as an exception, for reasons of public necessity, on the basis of law and with prior and full compensation. Compensation may follow later only under martial law or a state of emergency. Confiscation requires a court decision.
Under Art. 42 of Law No. 4510-IX, PPP disputes can be settled by negotiation, mediation, or national or international commercial or investment arbitration. The seat of arbitration may be abroad if the private partner or its founder is an enterprise with foreign investment.

The 2025 law has no private proposer: only the public partner initiates and prepares a PPP project (Art. 10(1)). Private companies take part in the tender, and the winner sets up a project company that becomes the private partner.
