Прес-служба АУБ Hits: 28
Despite the war, Ukrainian business does not put development on hold — it invests in new projects, technologies and infrastructure. And Ukreximbank supports it in this. Andriy Moiseenko, Director of the Corporate Business Department of the Private Sector of Ukreximbank, spoke with Ilya Kabachynskyi on Radio NV about why entrepreneurs are ready to invest again, how the Bank is adapting to the challenges of the times, and why loans for wagons and biogas are not fantasy, but everyday reality.
"Communicating with clients and looking at the requests that are there, we really see that businessmen are ready to invest, to expand their business. Even in regions close to our eastern or northern borders. The last example. 30−40 kilometers to the borders. And when you arrive at the site where the client's activities are concentrated, you feel that the business is alive. New storage facilities are being built there. Further, after driving 5−10 kilometers, livestock farms are being built. We also see that there is actually great demand and potential in livestock farming. And the main thing is that you see these cranes, concrete, everything is being built there. People are working, work is being done. And this is really very inspiring, because you feel that the business is alive, new jobs are being created, the region is alive," said Andriy Moiseenko.
Top topics of the conversation
Business is not waiting for “better times” — it is investing now
- Companies across Ukraine are launching new projects, building farms, logistics centers, and processing facilities — even 40-50 km from the border.
- Investments in technology are a response to personnel challenges
- Automation is not a trend, but a necessity. For example, a farm that used to be serviced by 100 workers now employs 15-17 — thanks to new equipment financed by the Bank.
- Diversification is a survival strategy
- Companies that before the war were engaged only in grain cultivation are now investing in processing, transport, and biogas to be more flexible to changes.
- Long-term financing — up to 7 years
- Thanks to cooperation with international financial institutions, the Bank can finance large-scale projects in strategic sectors of the economy.
- Trade Facilitation — a path to new markets
- The bank provides tools, guarantees and financial support so that companies can sell abroad and develop international trade.
- Risk sharing — financing in the most difficult regions
- Even if a business operates near the front line or does not have sufficient collateral — there are mechanisms that allow projects to be implemented.
- The bank as a "one-stop-shop"
- The client receives a full range of services — from financing to currency transactions, international contracts or energy-efficient solutions.
- Focus on the future: energy and defense
- Ukreximbank has already financed projects in "green" energy for more than 600 MW. It also supports companies that are joining the defense sector.
- State support programs, investments in key industries and effective cooperation with international partners — this is all about Ukreximbank today.
