Project description and objectives:

ProCredit Bank Ukraine (PCBU) was established in December 2000, with the support of EBRD to provide financial services to micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Ukraine. Since its establishment, PCBU had disbursed over 148,000 MSE loans for a total amount of USD 1.0 billion. A new senior loan up to USD 20 million being proposed will further assist PCBU in providing financing to MSEs in Ukraine.
