The Cabinet of Ministers allocated 2 billion hryvnias to compensate for interest rates under the “Affordable Loans 5-7-9%” program

Government listed 2 billion hryvnias to the Entrepreneurship Development Fund to compensate interest rates on loans issued within the framework of the state program “5-7-9% Affordable Loans” in May, as well as to repay debts to banks for previous periods.

“The 5-7-9 program remains an important source of affordable financing for Ukrainian businesses in wartime conditions. And for many enterprises, especially those operating in areas of high military risk, it is almost the only opportunity to plan activities.

Thanks to stable financing, banks receive compensation from the state, so entrepreneurs should count on unchanged conditions for existing loans. We continue to fulfill commitments that give businesses the opportunity to grow, create jobs and strengthen the economic stability of the state.” — noted Deputy Minister of Economy Andriy Telyupa.

Maintaining target interest rates within the framework of the “5-7-9%” program remains one of the key priorities of the state’s economic policy. In total, during 2025, the government has already transferred 9 billion hryvnias for these purposes: 1.5 billion — in January, 1.7 billion — in February, 1.9 billion — in March, another 1.9 billion — in April, and 2 billion — in May.

The government also extended the preferential rate of 1% for investment loans in areas of increased military risk for a period of up to five years. This decision should promote stability for entrepreneurs and allow them to direct the saved resources to the development of production.

As a reminder, the “Affordable loans 5-7-9%” program is part of the state policy of supporting the national producer within the framework of the “Made in Ukraine” initiative and is designed to stimulate the development of micro, small and medium-sized businesses by making loans cheaper through state compensation or guarantees. It is implemented by the Entrepreneurship Development Fund together with authorized banks.
