According to the Bank’s website, the project consists of an unfunded risk-sharing instrument covering up to 80% of the credit risk in newly originated sub-loans with the total value of EUR 150 million equivalent (the "Covered Portfolio") to be originated by Credit Agricole Bank in Ukraine.
The Project will include three sub-limits with the Covered Portfolio of: (i) EUR 80 million under the Resilience and Livelihoods Guarantee product, (ii) EUR 40 million under EBRD's Energy Security Support Facility (assigned with a separate EBRD project number 56172) and (iii) EUR 30 million under the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line with Incentives (assigned with a separate EBRD project number 56737).
Under the Resilience and Livelihoods Guarantee product, sub-loans will finance broader working capital and investment needs of Ukrainian private businesses across key economic sectors, helping sustain their operations and livelihoods.
Under the Energy Security Support Facility, sub-loans will finance energy generation, energy storage and energy efficiency sub-projects to Ukrainian businesses. All sub-borrowers will receive technical assistance to facilitate their investments' structuring and implementation.
Under the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line with Incentives, the EBRD and the EU support investment projects of local small and medium-sized enterprises ("SMEs"). The EBRD enables financing of long-term capital investments of SMEs to upgrade their technologies and equipment to EU standards, including investments in sustainable and green technologies (at least 70% of the sub-limit), thereby enhancing businesses' competitiveness. Eligible sub-borrowers will also receive technical assistance funded by the EU and grant support in the form of investment incentives upon the completion of their investment projects.
The facility will be used to support lending to Ukrainian sub-borrowers in sectors critical to safeguarding the country's resilience and essential for the country's energy security, with priority given to MSMEs and corporate borrowers, investing in projects that enhance energy security and energy efficiency in Ukraine.
