Ukraine’s State Bank Funds Eco-Sphere Juice Firm with Partial State Guarantee

In a significant business development, Ukreximbank, a state-owned financial institution in Kyiv, has approved a UAH 135 million loan for Eco-Sphere, a prominent natural juice producer located in Vinnytsia. This financial assistance is partially underwritten by the Ukrainian government, with a state guarantee covering half of the loan amount.

The decision underscores the government’s commitment to supporting key industries, particularly those involved in food production and export, as part of broader economic strategies to bolster domestic enterprises and enhance competitiveness in international markets. Eco-Sphere, known for its commitment to sustainable practices and high-quality natural products, has expressed gratitude for the financial support, which is expected to facilitate the expansion of its production capacity and further develop its export potential.

Ukreximbank’s involvement in this transaction highlights the role of state financial institutions in promoting economic growth and stability. The partial state guarantee also reduces the risk for the bank and ensures that the loan is more secure, which is crucial for maintaining investor confidence and continuing to support other domestic businesses.
