Made in Ukraine: ECA supports exports worth UAH 1.79 billion since the start of the year

Since the beginning of 2025, the Export Credit Agency has supported Ukrainian exports by UAH 1.79 billion. In total, UAH 72.96 million of bank loans for exporters have been insured.

“In the first two months of 2025, ECA supported exports by almost UAH 2 billion. This demonstrates business confidence in state insurance mechanisms that help mitigate risks and obtain profitable financing. Ukrainian entrepreneurs can reduce risks, expand production and enter new markets more actively. We will continue to improve our support mechanisms so that exporters can make even better use of growth opportunities,” said Yuliia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy.

In January-February, entrepreneurs from the regions of Khmelnytskyi (UAH 1.31 billion), Zaporizhzhia (UAH 230.4 million) and Ternopil (UAH 130.65 million) were the most active in taking out insurance for export contracts and loans.

Among the ECA’s partner banks, Raiffeisen Bank (UAH 1.31 billion), Oschadbank (UAH 298.5 million) and Kredobank (UAH 130.6 million) were the leaders in terms of export support, and Oschadbank (UAH 52.8 million), Kredobank (UAH 10 million) and Creditwest Bank (UAH 6 million) were the leaders in terms of loans issued to exporters.

Ukrainian companies will supply products to France, Germany, Bulgaria, Denmark and Hungary, among other countries. The main exports are furniture, paper and cardboard, and plastic products.
