#S1 REIT
“The Ukrainian stock market has a future. Capital is like water - it will find its way, and Ukrainians are a nation capable of rapid adaptation,” says Igor Gifes, CEO of S1 REIT, in an extensive new interview on the future of Ukraine's capital markets and the role of private investors in the country's recovery.
In this feature, Igor Gifes explains why traditional banking instruments are no longer sufficient for economic development, how micro-investing provides access to assets previously reserved for institutional players, and why the stock market must become a key driver of Ukraine’s economic growth.
Key Takeaways from the Interview
- Unlocking Capital: Over $130 billion in Ukrainian savings is currently underutilized within the economy.
- Democratising Investment: Micro-investing is fostering a new investment culture, granting a wider audience access to high-quality assets.
- Stability: Income-generating real estate remains one of the most reliable instruments for wealth preservation and growth.
- Growth Potential: The Ukrainian stock market is well-positioned for rapid development following the active phase of the war.
- Future Outlook: S1 REIT plans to expand its portfolio and launch new investment projects in the near term.
Igor Gifes also provides a detailed look at how S1 REIT funds operate, the sources of investor income, and why public participation in financing Ukraine's reconstruction is not only an economic opportunity but also a crucial step toward building a new class of property owners in the country.
