Developer Perfect Group has commissioned more than 60 thousand square meters of housing in 2025, the press service of the company told the agency “Interfax-Ukraine”.
“In 2025 we actively worked on a number of Residential Complexes within the consolidated portfolio: we completed Residential Complex ”7 KVARTAL“ house 7.2, Residential Complex ”Swan Guest House“ and put into operation lines in Residential Complex ”Likograd”. We are actively working on projects, among which are apart-hotel “VELMY”, Residential Complex ‘Stanford’ and Club House “LA MANCHE”, – said the head of Perfect Group projects Alexey Koval.
In particular, according to his data, the total area of the commissioned house in “7 KVARTAL” is 21 thousand 605,0 sq. m., there are 288 apartments with the area of 16 thousand 18,4 sq. m. in it. Residential Complex “Likograd” total area is 31 thousand 691,9 sq. m., the area of 384 apartments is 25 thousand 199,5 sq. m. LCD “Swan Guest House” – total area of 8 thousand 264.5 sq. m., 163 apartments totaling 7 thousand 889.4 sq. m.
“The peculiarity of the year – realization in conditions of increased requirements to safety and autonomy of houses, therefore a part of technical solutions were specified already in the process of construction”, – Koval emphasized.
According to him, among the practical changes that have become “the new norm”: strengthening of engineering solutions for the operation of the house during power outages (backup power supply of critical systems, optimization of ITP/pumping equipment), additional fire safety measures and for the organization of evacuation, as well as a more systematic approach to barrier-freeness in common areas (entrances without thresholds, convenient routes to elevators, width of passageways, navigation).
“Some of the solutions were refined to take into account the availability of materials/logistics and the safety situation, but the overall concept of project quality was retained,” he says.
Next year, the company expects a cautious increase in market activity, provided the safety situation is relatively stable and demand financing tools are maintained/expanded.
“Our focus is on projects with proven liquidity, phased queues and clear economics. We are planning to fully complete the 7 KVARTAL Residential Complex, bring the LA MANCHE Residential Complex to the final stage, and introduce the first stages of the Standford Residential Complex. From new projects – LCD “New Tone”, – said Koval.
As for prices, he believes, their cost price will be primarily influenced by the wage factor. “We have already faced a catastrophic shortage of labor in the Ukrainian market. We are actively working on labor contracts with foreigners for contract work, including the search for workers in India and a number of other countries,” Koval said.
In addition, the project manager added, the cost of production is pressured by the cost of energy, logistics and import-dependent positions. A separate item is the tightening of requirements for engineering systems and security.
“Our base scenario is cost of production growth within 15-20% y/y, but the range will depend on the exchange rate, material prices and the situation on the labor market. We are building in a margin of safety through longer contracts with contractors, optimizing design solutions without sacrificing quality and planning critical material purchases ahead,” said Kowal.
Founded in 1991, Perfect Group has delivered 45 homes since 2010, with 18 homes under construction.
On December, 23rd Kharkivoblenergo JSC announced about the intention to conclude with IC VUSO (Kiev) the contract for the purchase of services of compulsory insurance of civil liability of owners of land vehicles (OSAGO).
According to the message in the system of electronic public procurement Prozorro, the price offer of the company – the only participant of the tender corresponded to the expected cost of purchasing services of UAH 423.5 thousand.
IC “VUSO” was founded in 2001. It is a member of ITSBU and NASU, a participant of the Agreement on direct settlement of losses and a member of the Nuclear Insurance Pool.

Ukraine has joined the group of countries with the highest level of maturity of digital public administration according to the updated GovTech Maturity Index 2025 (GTMI) of the World Bank, according to the published report of the organization.
According to the report, GTMI 2025 covers 197 economies and divides them into four groups according to the level of GovTech development: A – Extensive, B – Significant, C – Medium and D – Low.
Ukraine is assigned to Group A, which includes 80 states demonstrating the most advanced solutions in the sphere of digital public services, basic information systems, open data and digital interaction with citizens.
The document notes that over the period from 2022 to 2025, the share of Group A countries has increased and the gap between leaders and outsiders of digital transformation of the public sector has widened. Europe and Central Asia as a whole remains one of the most mature regions in terms of GovTech.
Earlier, the researchers pointed out that Ukraine has significantly improved its performance in recent years and moved from Group B to Group A on the GovTech index, reflecting progress in the digitalization of public services, the introduction of electronic document management systems and the development of open data.
This week, the Ukrainian market continued to see a gradual decline in feed corn prices on a FOB Black Sea basis, according to the information and analytical agency APK-Inform.
“Prices remained under pressure throughout the week due to slow sea export rates as a result of systematic attacks by the Russian Federation on Ukraine’s port and energy infrastructure, which led to shipment disruptions, which, in turn, restrained importers’ demand,” analysts said.
At the same time, they noted that corn remains the most active export crop for Ukraine, but this has not been able to offset the factors putting pressure on prices.
Indicative bid/ask prices for feed corn with delivery in December-January from Black Sea ports fell by 1-3 USD/ton in less than a week under the influence of these factors to 210-218 and 214-222 USD/ton, respectively, according to APK-Inform.
The Kryvyi Rih Mining and Metallurgical Plant PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih (AMKR, Dnipropetrovsk region) has created an autonomous heating system for its coke production facility (CPF) to save energy and improve energy efficiency.
According to information from the primary organization of the Trade Union of Workers in the Metallurgical and Mining Industry of Ukraine (PO PMGU) AMKR on its website, energy specialists have completed a project to create an autonomous heating system at the CCF.
At the same time, with reference to the head of the KHV energy department, Alexander Melnikov, and the head of the steam supply section of the department, Dmitry Khvorostinin, it is specified that previously, heating water for the heating system at KHV was supplied from a neighboring metallurgical production facility. However, in order to use energy resources more rationally and prevent unjustified heat losses, KHV Director Nikolai Galushkin proposed introducing autonomous heating that would operate on the principle of complete self-sufficiency.
Almost everything needed to create an autonomous heating system was found at the enterprise. The largest component of the new system, a storage tank for heating water, had previously been used at the chemical plant.
The heat transfer medium supplied to the heating system was chemically purified water produced at the chemical plant, and it was decided to use low-pressure steam produced in-house to heat it. As a result, a closed-cycle system was created, which is as energy-efficient as possible. Appropriate metering devices were installed to control and regulate the pressure and temperature of the heat transfer fluid.
ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih is the largest producer of rolled steel in Ukraine. It specializes in the production of long products, in particular, rebar and wire rod. The company has a full production cycle, with a production capacity of over 6 million tons of steel, more than 5 million tons of rolled products, and over 5.5 million tons of pig iron per year.
ArcelorMittal owns Ukraine’s largest mining and metallurgical complex, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, and a number of small companies, including ArcelorMittal Beryslav.
