What Program is About:

This loan program is developed under the Memorandum on Banking Lending for Projects to Restore Ukraine's Energy Infrastructure, which Raiffeisen Bank signed alongside 20 other Ukrainian banks.

In addition to the terms outlined in the Memorandum, Raiffeisen Bank also offers clients individual financing terms: with loan amounts up to 25 million euros in various currencies, terms of up to 5-7 years, and personal contributions starting from 0% of the project cost.

It is also possible to combine with the investment incentives program from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and with financial support from the European Union, offering the possibility of partial cost reimbursement (cashback) for the project financed through the Bank's loan funds.
