researchers from the centre for economic policy research (cepr), a network of economists, put the total cost of rebuilding ukraine in the region of €200bn-500bn ($220bn-540bn), roughly in line with the government’s own calculations. the way in which reconstruction happens, and the reforms that accompany it, will be just as important as the money spent. done well, it could transform an economy that was once captured by oligarchic interests into something more open and dynamic.
