Ministry of Finance: Entrepreneurs received 504 preferential loans worth UAH 1.6 billion in a week under the 5-7-9% programme

Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, posted 16 June 2025 16:42

Over the past week, under the Government’s Affordable Loans at 5-7-9% programme, entrepreneurs secured 504 preferential loans totalling UAH 1.6 billion from authorised banks, including 328 loans worth UAH 0.6 billion from state-owned banks.

Since the start of 2025, the Affordable Loans at 5-7-9% programme has facilitated 13,041 loans amounting to UAH 40.6 billion, of which 8,671 loans worth UAH 18 billion were provided by state-owned banks.

During martial law in Ukraine, 82,676 loans worth UAH 317.1 billion have been issued (including 60,533 loans worth UAH 159.8 billion from state-owned banks). As of 16 June 2025, these include:

  • UAH 43.21 billion for investment purposes;
  • UAH 74.12 billion for working capital financing;
  • UAH 48.02 billion for agricultural producers;
  • UAH 42.65 billion for agricultural product processing;
  • UAH 2.64 billion for energy service financing;
  • UAH 54.26 billion for anti-war purposes;
  • UAH 36.65 billion for lending in high-risk war zones.

Since the programme’s inception, 117,498 loan agreements worth UAH 406.7 billion have been signed, including 81,009 agreements worth UAH 186.4 billion from state-owned banks.

The programme is implemented by the Entrepreneurship Development Fund (EDF), with the Ukrainian Government, represented by the Ministry of Finance, as its sole participant, coordinating all key aspects of the Fund’s activities.

Under the Affordable Loans at 5-7-9% programme, the EDF has entered into cooperation agreements with 46 banks. The state continues to provide all necessary compensatory payments to support businesses under the programme’s loan agreements.

As a reminder, last autumn, the Government endorsed changes proposed by the Ministry of Finance to improve processes for providing financial state support to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, which is particularly crucial amid the ongoing full-scale war. These changes primarily focus on enhancing the Affordable Loans at 5-7-9%, Affordable Financial Leasing at 5-7-9%, and Affordable Factoring state programmes.
