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.
