Over the past week, within the framework of the State Program “Affordable Loans at 5-7-9%,” representatives of micro, small, and medium-sized businesses received 560 preferential loans totaling UAH 1.7 billion from 48 authorized banks, of which 393 loans worth UAH 0.8 billion were issued by banks in the state sector of the economy.

Since the beginning of 2026, entrepreneurs have received 23,909 loans worth UAH 108.6 billion under the “5-7-9%” Program, including 15,805 loans worth UAH 49.5 billion from state-sector banks.

In total, since the launch of the Program, 158,893 loan agreements worth UAH 570.8 billion have been signed, of which 108,548 agreements worth UAH 261.4 billion were issued by banks in the public sector of the economy.

The Government, particularly the Ministry of Finance, continues to work on improving tools to support Ukrainian business and attracting funds from international partners to develop entrepreneurship through affordable financing.
The development of state programs “Affordable Loans at 5-7-9%”, “Affordable Financial Leasing at 5-7-9%”, and “Affordable Factoring” contributes to job creation, economic inclusiveness, and business support during wartime.

The state continues to make all necessary compensation payments to businesses under signed loan agreements within the program.

The program is implemented by the National Development Institution (NDI), which began operations on January 1, 2026. The Ministry of Finance is authorized to manage the state’s corporate rights in the statutory capital of the NDI and has approved its Charter. This completed the institutional transformation of the Entrepreneurship Development Fund into the National Development Institution.
