The UFHC team took part in the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) in Rome — a high-level platform for shaping Ukraine’s long-term reconstruction and investment strategy.
As the national housing finance institution, we’re working to ensure that access to affordable housing becomes a pillar of Ukraine’s recovery — and a driver of resilience for millions of families.
In parallel to the conference, we held a series of strategic meetings facilitated by the European Mortgage Federation (EMF), aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s integration into the European housing finance architecture. Key meetings included:
— Prof. Gianluca Mattarocci, University of Tor Vergata: insights into housing finance, market risk, and capital access.
— Italian Banking Federation (ABI & partners): institutional cooperation on affordable housing and ESG-aligned finance.
— Valentina Canalini, GPBL Law Firm: expertise in public infrastructure, financing mechanisms, and legal frameworks.
— Harley Dikkinson Group: innovative financial tools for green renovation and residential retrofitting.
These conversations signal a growing readiness across Europe to support Ukraine’s mortgage market development, green housing finance, and institutional strengthening in a time of war and rebuilding.
Our message is clear: Rebuilding Ukraine starts with rebuilding homes.
And rebuilding homes requires confidence, coordination, and capital.
We are sincerely grateful to the European Mortgage Federation (EMF) and personally to its Secretary General Luca Bertalot for facilitating this dialogue and fostering strategic alignment between Ukrainian and European financial ecosystems.
