The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) plans to launch a non-funding risk-sharing instrument with Ukrsibbank (Kyiv) worth the equivalent of EUR104 million to cover 50% of the risk on new loans.
As noted on the EBRD website, the project includes three sub-limits: EUR80 million under the Resilience and Livelihood Guarantees (RLG) product, EUR4 million under the Energy Security Support Facility (ESSF), and EUR20 million under the EU4Business-EBRD credit line with incentives.
The largest sub-limit under the RLG program is intended to finance the working capital and investment needs of Ukrainian private businesses in key economic sectors to support their operational resilience.
Under the ESSF, support will be provided to sectors critical to the country’s energy security, with priority given to homeowners and homeowners’ associations investing in residential renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Ukraine.
The EU4Business-EBRD incentive-based credit line is designed to support long-term investments by small and medium-sized enterprises in modernization to EU standards, with at least 70% of this sub-limit directed toward sustainable and “green” technologies. Program participants will also be able to receive technical assistance and grant support upon completion of investment projects
The project is in the preliminary review stage, with approval expected on May 14, 2026.
According to the regulator, as of March 1, 2026, the bank ranked 8th (UAH 190.06 billion) among 58 solvent banks in Ukraine in terms of total assets. The bank’s net loan portfolio decreased by 1.7% over the first two months of 2026, to UAH 17.0 billion.
