Reconstruction needs are not completed works

How to read the World Bank assessment of recovery needs in Ukraine, with its reference date and a clear distinction from completed work.

01

What the estimate measures

According to the assessment presented by the World Bank, reconstruction and recovery needs in Ukraine as of 31 December 2025 were estimated at almost 588 billion US dollars over the next decade. This is an estimate of needs over a future period, not a measure of completed works. Read the reference date and the time horizon together with the amount.

02

Which sectors the assessment highlights

The assessment presented by the World Bank, with a reference date of 31 December 2025, identifies housing, transport and energy as the sectors most affected by direct damage in Ukraine. This identifies the sectors most affected in that assessment; it does not establish a completion date for a particular home, road or energy facility. Keep the scale of the assessment separate from the status of a specific project.
