Last week, entrepreneurs took 401 new loans totaling over 1.7 billion hryvnias under the 'Affordable Loans 5-7-9%' program. Since the beginning of 2025, businesses have attracted over 25 thousand loans amounting to 74.1 billion hryvnias. The most loans were issued in the following areas: lending in high military risk zones – 20.7 billion hryvnias; investment projects – 19.5 billion hryvnias; development of the processing industry – 19.4 billion hryvnias.
Since the start of the program, entrepreneurs have received over 129.4 thousand loans totaling 440.1 billion hryvnias, including during martial law — 94.6 thousand loans for 350.5 billion hryvnias. The regions that belong to high military risk zones have made it to the top ten in the number of loans taken.
The largest volumes of lending were received by enterprises in the agricultural sector, processing industry, wholesale, and retail trade. The 'Affordable Loans 5-7-9%' program is part of the 'Made in Ukraine' policy and is aimed at supporting small and medium-sized businesses.
For enterprises in high military risk zones, a special regime applies: investment loans at 1% per annum for the first 5 years, and thereafter – 5%.
Ukrainian entrepreneurs are actively using the 'Affordable Loans 5-7-9%' program, obtaining funding for the development of their businesses. This is especially true for enterprises in high military risk zones, which have the opportunity to obtain investment loans at favorable interest rates. Continuing this support will help grow the country's economy and support small and medium-sized enterprises.
