Ukraine has its hopes pinned to public private partnerships to attract billions of dollars in private capital to rebuild, maintain and operate thousands of kilometers of nationally important highways.
One can drive free of charge on Ukraine’s 170,000 kilometers of roads. This means that the country is potentially losing out on millions of dollars per year that could be used to finance their construction and maintenance.
This is one of the many reasons why Ukraine scored a lamentable 130th place out of 137 countries on the most recent World Economic Forum survey of road quality in 2018.
