EBRD will provide Rozetka Group with long-term financing of EUR 25 mln

On April 17, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) approved a EUR25 million long-term loan for the Rozetka corporate group, specifically EUR20 million for Rozetka.ua LLC in Ukraine and EUR5 million for Rozetka EU LLC in Poland, according to the financial institution’s materials.

As noted, EUR10 million of this amount is earmarked for financing the working capital of the group’s Ukrainian and Polish operations, and the bank may provide up to an additional EUR15 million for working capital and potential capital investments in Ukraine and Poland.

The project will receive partial first-loss risk coverage from the European Union under the Ukraine Investment Facility (UIF), which supports “green” investments in key economic sectors and promotes recovery during the war.

According to the bank’s assessment, the project will also contribute to the reintegration of veterans and other vulnerable groups, while the “green” component of the financing involves the purchase of energy-efficient household appliances.

The loan will provide the Rozetka Group with longer-term financing not available on the local market, support the early-stage development of its Polish operations, and help strengthen HR policies, skills development, and women’s participation in the company.

As reported with reference to YouControl, companies within the Rozetka corporate group generated a total of UAH 30.2 billion in revenue from January to September 2025, accounting for 76% of the total revenue of the 10 largest online retailers.

Rozetka was founded in 2005 in Kyiv by Vladislav and Irina Chechotkin. Later, a fund managed by Horizon Capital became a co-owner of the company. Currently, the company operates as a multi-category online marketplace and is developing a network of its own stores.
