Made in Ukraine: Over the week, businesses attracted UAH 2.6 billion in affordable loans under the 5‑7‑9% program

Last week, entrepreneurs secured 772 new loans worth UAH 2.64 billion under the Affordable Loans at 5‑7‑9% program, which is part of the Made in Ukraine policy to support domestic producers.

The largest increase in loan volume was recorded among businesses in high‑risk war zones — plus UAH 976 million in a week. This accounts for 37% of all new loan funds issued under the program during this period.

Since the beginning of 2026, businesses have obtained 25,100 loans totaling UAH 112.5 billion under the program. The largest volumes of lending include:

Businesses in high‑risk war zones — UAH 38.5 billion

Processing enterprises — UAH 30 billion

Investment projects — UAH 17.8 billion

In 2026, businesses also secured 866 energy loans at 0% interest worth UAH 1.29 billion. These loans of up to UAH 10 million for up to 3 years were introduced by the Government at the start of the year to purchase cogeneration units, generators, and other energy equipment. At the same time, the Government increased the maximum size of investment loans for energy needs to UAH 250 million to build new generation capacity before winter.

Additionally, since July 1, a separate program within 5‑7‑9% has been operating to restore destroyed or damaged property. The interest rate for such loans is 0.1% during the first two years, with a maximum amount of up to UAH 150 million. Later, the rate will be 5%, 7%, or 9%, depending on the business segment and job creation.

Since the launch of the program in February 2020, businesses have attracted 160,100 loans totaling UAH 574.6 billion. Of these, during martial law — 125,300 loans worth UAH 485 billion.

The largest volumes of lending have been secured by enterprises in the agricultural sector, wholesale and retail trade, and processing industry.

The program involves 48 authorized banks.
