50 billion UAH of additional credit resources
The government aims to create conditions to attract 50 billion UAH of additional credit resources for business. This amount is intended to strengthen the “Accessible Loans 5−7−9 percent” programme and promote the growth of investment lending.
The document explicitly states the ambition to increase the share of investment loans and to focus the programme on such projects. The idea is that this will also reduce pressure on the budget and ease access to finance for companies planning capital investments.

5−7−9% loans cover loans, leasing and factoring
The “Accessible Loans 5−7−9 percent” programme is not limited to loans. It also includes leasing and factoring, as the government plan explicitly states. The changes are to place emphasis specifically on investment products.
The Ministry of Economy, together with the National Development Institution and banks, must prepare a draft order by November. The document should provide for additional funding for the programme and a mechanism to cover arrears, as well as a package of amendments to resolution No. 28 of 24 January 2020.
By October: preparation of lending for war-affected businesses
By October the Ministry of Economy, together with the National Development Institution, must prepare a draft Cabinet of Ministers act on lending to businesses affected by the war. This concerns partial state compensation of interest on loans.
Loans will be available for rebuilding or restoring destroyed and damaged facilities of fuel and warehouse logistics infrastructure. The programme will also cover the purchase, creation, reconstruction, modernisation and restoration of fixed assets of enterprises in the processing industry.
By December: recapitalisation of the Export Credit Agency and partnership with KUKЕ
The plan includes a separate section on the Export Credit Agency. It is to be recapitalised and a regulatory framework prepared for a strategic partner to enter its capital. An expansion of the agency’s product line is also envisaged.
New services cited include insurance of loans, investments and political risks for priority reconstruction sectors. By December a memorandum or agreement with KUKЕ Poland on capital entry and/or strategic partnership is planned.
Two weeks for coordination and sources of funding
The heads of ministries and central executive authorities must align their work plans with the new document within two weeks. This task applies to all agencies that will implement measures within the scope of state budget expenditures.
Implementation of the plan is expected to be funded from the state budget, international technical assistance and other sources not prohibited by law. This underlines a comprehensive approach to financing changes to the programme and related initiatives.
