In February this year the Government agreed to extend tariff liberalisation with Ukraine for an additional five years on the vast majority of goods; the most generous tariff concessions offered by any country. In March 2023, the Government signed a Digital Trade Agreement to underpin Ukraine's transition to a digitally-led economy, and supported this with the launch in January of the UK-Ukraine TechBridge. The Government's work to remove market access barriers continues in sectors such as pharmaceuticals and public procurement. To support more businesses to engage with Ukraine, particularly on reconstruction, the Government host regular business engagement events, nationally and internationally, and published a Guide to Doing Business with Ukraine.
