Presentation title: Macroeconomic recovery of post-conflict countries: impact investing for sustainable peace (SDG 16)

Abstract: Presently, conflicts do not stop. In addition, the wars have become more local and often turn into a phase of frozen conflict. Local conflicts have increasingly become internationalized because, as a rule, third parties try to intervene in their solution, and international organizations provide financial and humanitarian support to such countries. Post-war countries are fragile as it becomes a challenge to achieve macroeconomic stability and peace altogether, and not all countries can earn positive economic growth after the war. Unfortunately, post-war stagnation is inevitable, and to stimulate domestic consumption and economic activity, countries need to develop clear targets for economic recovery in several directions (fiscal policy and institutions, monetary policy, employment, infrastructure, private sector, agriculture, the banking system and finances) with the attraction of investments. That is why my investigation aims to develop the primary conceptual basis of the country`s macroeconomic post-conflict reconstruction according to the international experience, as well as the role of impact investing in achieving stability and peace. As a result, identify the perspective spheres of impact investments in the future post-conflict reconstruction of Ukraine.
