Background
The Affordable Loans at 5-7-9% programme is part of the Made in Ukraine policy to support Ukrainian manufacturers. It aims to stimulate micro-, small and medium-sized businesses by reducing the cost of credit through state compensation or state guarantees.
For businesses operating in high war-risk zones, the programme offers a reduced interest rate on investment loans – 1% per annum for the first 5 years and 5% thereafter.
Since 2024, the programme has focused on supporting investment projects that create jobs, modernise businesses and contribute to economic recovery. Entrepreneurs can use the funds for production development, energy efficiency, infrastructure or the reconstruction of facilities destroyed by the war.
Details and participation conditions are available on the website (in Ukrainian).
48 authorised banks are participating in the programme.
