Danish exporters can apply for loans and guarantees from the Ukraine Facility.

EIFO's Ukraine Facility offers the following financial solutions:

• Financing for Ukrainian buyers through direct EIFO loans or 100% risk coverage of loans and credit provided by financial institutions and Danish exporters. Additionally, EIFO offers grants covering up to 40% of the financing needs for public buyers.
• Risk coverage of Danish exporters' investments or contractual risks in Ukraine.

To qualify for financing from the Ukraine Facility, the involved parties and the project must adhere to the following criteria:

• The buyer must be a Ukrainian public or private entity.   
• The financing for Ukrainian public entities covers projects within critical infrastructure. The financing for Ukrainian private entities covers projects that contribute to development of the private sector and the economy of Ukraine.  
• Danish economic interest constitutes a minimum of 30 % of the financing amount.  
• The buyer’s equity must be at least three times the loan amount. 
• The buyer must be able to provide audited financial reports for the last five years.  
• The borrower or guarantor and the project must comply with EIFO's other policies regarding corporate responsibility, tax policy, etc., taking into account the operational context in Ukraine.

Among the applicants and business opportunities that meet the above criteria, projects are selected based on a range of screening criteria, including the project’s maturity, the project’s Danish economic interest, the buyer’s experience with trade and finance with OECD countries, credit risk and risk of war damage.

Loans and guarantees are issued in EUR or DKK (USD may be offered in special cases where other sanctions rules apply).

EIFO continuously evaluates incoming inquiries to determine if they fall within the scheme's framework and whether there are financial resources available to initiate potential financing discussions.
