Capital investment in the mining & metals sector doubled in 5 years

The mining & metals sector is among the top three industries with the highest level of capital investment. This is partly explained by the specific methodology, applied by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine.

Anyway, over the past five years, the volume of capital investment in the sector at least doubled.

In 2018, capital investment in the steel industry and production of finished steel products grew by 41.7%, up to UAH 25.6 billion. The share of this industry in the total volume of capital investment in 2017–2018 increased from 13.2% to 14.2%.

Last year, capital investment in mining grew by 53.5%, up to UAH 52.9 billion. Over the last two years, the share of capital investment in the sector also increased from 25.2% to 29.4%.

The growth of capital investment in the sector totaled 31.6% in 2018, up to UAH 179.7 billion.
