13 November , 2025  

The first hundred lobbyists have registered in Ukraine’s Transparency Register, an open public platform that collects, processes, and publishes data on lobbying entities and their reports, according to a statement posted on the website of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NACP) on Thursday.

“As of November 13, 2025, 101 lobbying entities are registered in the Register, of which 51 are legal entities (on behalf of which 141 representatives can lobby) and 50 are individuals. Two people have terminated their status as lobbyists. So, in total, 191 lobbyists can influence decision-making in the country,” the statement said.

Among the legal entities registered in the Register, there are 27 companies (limited liability and joint-stock), 16 public associations (associations, unions), five law firms (associations, offices), and three others.

“The most popular areas of lobbying are: financial, banking, tax, and customs policy—76 lobbying entities; economic development, regulatory policy, and property—74 entities; legal policy—70 entities; law enforcement—68 entities; innovation and digital transformation – 66 entities; transport, communications, and infrastructure – 65 entities; environmental policy and natural resource use – 64 entities; agricultural and land policy – 63 entities; regional development and urban planning – 62 entities. The smallest number of entities chose the area of “Youth and Sports” – 36 lobbying entities,” the statement said.

The NACP reminds that lobbying entities must submit their first reports on their activities from the date of registration in the Register until December 31, 2025, to the Register between January 1 and January 30, 2026.

As reported, the Lobbyist Transparency Register, provided for by the law on lobbying, officially began operating in Ukraine on September 1. At the same time, the NACP put into commercial operation a key tool for its implementation – the Transparency Register.

Immediately after that, the National Association of Lobbyists (NALU) was created in Ukraine to promote investment and protect business interests. Today, it has offices in London and Zurich.
