Access to preferential loans for small and medium businesses is another key element of state support
According to government decisions, the European Investment Bank will provide up to 20,000 euros to support loans through the state-owned 'PrivatBank', as well as up to 15 million euros through 'Ukreximbank'. This will allow entrepreneurs to have resources for development and investment.
Thus, we provide our entrepreneurs with opportunities for growth, investment, and strengthening their positions
