03/ 02/ 2026

On 30 January, the European Business Association held an extended meeting of the Ukraine Recovery Committee with Andrii Teliupa, Adviser on Financing at the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine. Access to finance remains one of the key concerns for businesses, particularly during wartime. During the meeting, participants discussed with Mr Teliupa issues related to attracting financing to the Ukrainian market and improving its accessibility, export financing, the development of housing sector financing, as well as de-risking mechanisms — including the involvement of international reinsurers and the development of relevant insurance products for businesses. Member companies of the Association highlighted the specific features of financing programmes in frontline regions, as well as in certain sectors, particularly agriculture and pharmaceuticals. Following the meeting, the Association submitted to Mr Teliupa the proposals developed by the Ukraine Recovery Committee regarding war risk insurance, along with recommendations aimed at simplifying access to finance, including with regard to the Decarbonisation Fund programmes, grant support schemes, and lending under the “Affordable Loans 5–7–9%” programme. The Association expresses its gratitude to Mr Teliupa and the team at the Ministry of Economy for maintaining a systematic dialogue with the business community.
