Supporting Ukraine’s long-term economic recovery means ensuring that its private sector continues to invest, grow and create jobs despite extraordinary challenges.

We’re proud to join forces with the European Union in Ukraine and launch the Ukraine SME Recovery Programme to strengthen Ukraine’s private sector and support economic recovery in wartime.

With €46 million in EU backing, the programme is expected to mobilise at least €135 million in financing, helping SMEs, mid-cap companies and startups access vital funding and advisory support.

By combining blended finance, technical assistance and entrepreneurship support, we are helping Ukrainian businesses access the financing they need to rebuild, adapt to changing economic conditions and strengthen their competitiveness for long-term success.

Under the transaction, we will provide an unfunded portfolio guarantee of up to €50 million, covering 50% of the credit risk on a newly generated portfolio of loans. The facility will enable ProCredit Bank to expand lending to businesses across Serbia, including outside major urban centres.
