Poland Launches €58 Million Program to Support Business in Ukraine’s Reconstruction
On April 22, 2025, Poland officially launched a PLN 250 million (approx. €58.25 million) concessional lending initiative aimed at supporting Polish companies investing in Ukraine, The Gaze reports, citing The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
The program, titled “Loan for Participation in the Reconstruction of Ukraine”, is designed to facilitate the involvement of Polish businesses in rebuilding Ukraine’s war-torn economy and infrastructure. The initiative offers loans of up to €2.33 million per company, with an interest rate of 2% and a 12-year repayment term.
“Thanks to the state program ‘Loan for Participation in the Reconstruction of Ukraine’, Polish companies will receive preferential funds for investments in the reconstruction of Ukrainian infrastructure. These funds can also be used for services to prepare feasibility studies or investment projects, organize logistics, and develop bilateral trade,” said Yulia Svyrydenko, First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.
According to the program’s terms, concessional loans can be used across a wide range of activities that support Ukraine’s reconstruction. These include transportation, logistics, and storage of construction materials, specialized equipment, and humanitarian goods; development of company resources to participate in rebuilding critical infrastructure such as roads, railways, utilities, and housing; and preparation of feasibility studies and investment planning.
The program also allows for the financing of medical companies involved in producing essential items like prostheses and bandages for use in Ukraine. Loans can support import and export operations with Ukrainian counterparties, as well as the provision of goods and services to other businesses directly engaged in reconstruction efforts.
Additionally, funds may be used to purchase real estate in Poland—such as warehouses or production facilities—if directly related to the investment purpose. The initiative also includes sectoral preferences to incentivize strategic industries and high-impact projects, enhancing bilateral economic cooperation.
As The Gaze previously reported, Poland has begun work on the development of the Slavków railway terminal in Silesian Voivodeship (south of the country), which will be used for logistics routes between Ukraine and the West.
