The session outlined the financing mechanism introduced under Pillar II of the Ukraine Facility, following an agreement signed between the European Commission and BGK on 30 March 2026. The programme offers investment loans ranging from approximately EUR 8\u201310 million to EUR 50 million, covering up to 75% of a project&#8217;s total value. Investors are required to contribute at least 25% of their own funds. Loans can be granted for up to 15 years, with the option of a two-year grace period on principal repayments.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total of EUR 200 million has been allocated to the programme. The financing is available to companies registered in Ukraine, including Polish-owned businesses and entities undertaking joint Polish-Ukrainian investment projects. It primarily targets the energy, transport and logistics, and manufacturing sectors. According to the BGK representative, investor interest is currently strongest in renewable energy, biogas, biomethane and bioethanol, as well as warehousing and logistics infrastructure. The discussion also covered the EU guarantee mechanism, which helps mitigate the risks associated with investing in Ukraine and enables BGK to offer more favourable lending terms. Financing costs are determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account EURIBOR, the bank\u2019s margin and the cost of the guarantee. BGK is also exploring the possibility of introducing interest rate subsidies, primarily for investments undertaken by companies with Polish capital.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karol Tofil emphasised the importance of thorough project preparation, particularly business plans, financial models and documentation demonstrating an investment\u2019s financial viability. The financing approval process typically takes between 9 and 12 months, so businesses are advised to engage with the bank well in advance. BGK is already reviewing its first investment proposals, including two projects at an advanced stage, and expected to issue its first credit decisions before the end of 2026. During the Q&amp;A session, participants were informed that the financing instrument does not provide non-repayable grants. Loan approval depends on an individual assessment of each project and the investor\u2019s financial standing. One of the programme\u2019s key advantages is access to long-term funding through a project finance structure, which remains difficult to obtain in the Ukrainian market.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The webinar provided practical insights into investment financing opportunities in Ukraine and the requirements businesses need to meet to access them. The instruments presented may be particularly relevant to Polish companies looking to expand into the Ukrainian market, especially in the energy, logistics and manufacturing sectors, as well as to businesses interested in developing joint projects with Ukrainian partners. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 21 October 2026, a webinar was held to discuss financing opportunities for private investment in Ukraine under the EU\u2019s Ukraine Facility programme.
