The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the attraction of up to EUR 30 million by Ukrgasbank and ProCredit Bank (both based in Kyiv) from the European Investment Bank (EIB), Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced.

"Today, we will make a decision that will allow two Ukrainian banks to attract up to EUR 30 million from the European Investment Bank. These funds will be directed towards supporting Ukrainian small- and medium-sized businesses by improving the conditions for preferential lending," Shmyhal said at a government meeting on Friday.
