Over recent months, Polish business entities have increasingly expressed their interest in participating in Ukraine’s reconstruction initiatives by applying for subsidized loan programs managed through the Polish State Bank for Development (BGK). These programs are designed to finance large-scale projects aimed at infrastructure reconstruction, industrial modernization, and supporting investments in energy and transportation sectors. According to BGK officials, the number of applications submitted has grown rapidly since early May, and currently, the total requested financing almost reaches the set funding limits. The full program budget amounts to 250 million zlotys, approximately over 58 million euros, with applications accepted until the funds are fully allocated. Additionally, Ukraine and France have agreed to establish a joint fund of €200 million to support recovery efforts across Ukraine. These financial mechanisms are particularly targeted at Polish companies interested in investing in reconstruction and modernization projects within Ukraine. The funds can be directed towards enhancing exports and imports, road construction, energy network restoration, and industrial infrastructure development. The maximum amount for a single loan is set at 10 million zlotys, roughly €2.3 million, with an interest rate of 2%. Repayment terms can extend up to 10 years, with conditions including reduced interest rates and prolonged payback periods to facilitate borrower comfort. Special support is also available for enterprises in the medical sector, including prosthetic and medical supplies manufacturers. Notably, during the Ukraine Recovery Conference held in Rome, nearly 200 agreements and memoranda were signed, totaling over €11 billion, reflecting strong international support and keen interest in Ukraine’s economic recovery.
