The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will cover 50% of the risk on new loans issued by Kredobank, with the financing aimed at key sectors of Ukraine’s economy: agriculture, food processing, transportation, logistics, retail, and pharmaceuticals.
At least one-third of the EBRD-guaranteed loans will go to agribusinesses.
Additionally, €10 million will be allocated for investment projects with the potential to receive grants of up to 30% of the total financing amount.
Kredobank reported that it has already issued over €185 million in loans under its partnership with the EBRD, with approximately 25% directed to businesses operating in high-risk regions.
Half of the loans support manufacturing businesses, including agricultural enterprises; one-third serve the retail sector; the remaining portion is distributed across logistics, construction, and services. The majority of the funding supports working capital needs, while one-quarter is aimed at long-term investments and leasing.
