Implemented by the National Development Institution (NDI), the initiative has facilitated a total of 138,186 loan agreements, with a combined value of 476.7 billion hryvnias. This program is a key pillar of the government's economic response during a period of significant national challenge.
Since the onset of the full-scale war, 103,364 loans worth 387.1 billion hryvnias have been issued under the program. In the past week alone, authorized banks provided 746 preferential loans totaling 3.2 billion hryvnias. Since the beginning of 2026, 3,676 loans worth 16.6 billion hryvnias have been granted, demonstrating sustained demand.
Economic Significance of the Program
