The Public Investment Watchdog №6, July 2026

In July, 611 new public investment projects (PIPs) were registered on the DREAM platform – more than in June, when there were 527. However, financial figures were significantly lower: of the UAH 43.3 billion in expected financing, projects received only UAH 2.7 billion, or less than 7%.

This is according to the July monitoring report of the Public Investment Watchdog project, implemented by the Centre for Economic Strategy, the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting, and Technologies of Progress with financial support from the European Union.

Most of the new community projects focused on education (266) and municipal infrastructure and services (135) – together accounting for nearly 66% of all new PIPs registered in July. Analysts attribute this concentration primarily to the availability of dedicated funding, particularly in the education sector.

At the regional level, 181 new PIPs were registered in July. Nearly one-third of them were in education (53 projects), while another third focused on healthcare (49 projects). Communities also submitted projects in housing, transport, and municipal infrastructure.

At the same time, July’s financial figures were significantly lower than in previous months: the estimated value of new projects was half the June figure and more than ten times lower than in April and May.
