The program provides for financing Ukrainian companies in excess of €31 million, according to a press release issued by the bank on January 15.
According to EIB Vice-President Teresa Czerwińska, cooperation with strong local partners such as Ukrgasbank helps Ukrainian companies access critically needed financing at the right time.
The bank clarified that the support will cover not only small and medium-sized enterprises, but also labor-intensive companies employing up to 500 people. Priority will be given to businesses owned or managed by veterans, internally displaced persons, women, entrepreneurs under the age of 36, as well as companies operating in regions most affected by the war.
The guarantee mechanism will cover 30–80% of the credit risk for individual transactions and will apply to investment loans, working capital financing, and documentary operations (bank guarantees and letters of credit). Loans may be provided for terms ranging from 6 to 84 months in hryvnia, euros, or U.S. dollars, with reduced collateral requirements.
The program is implemented with the support of the European Union under the Ukraine Facility.
As of December 1, 2025, Ukrgasbank was servicing more than 1,000 loans totaling UAH 10.4 billion under state guarantees, representing 69% of the bank’s guarantee limit. By asset size, the bank ranks fifth in Ukraine, with total assets of UAH 208.24 billion as of December 1, 2025.
