The CEB and Bank "LVIV" have signed a €3 million loan agreement to support microenterprises in western Ukraine with a focus on communities hosting large numbers of internally displaced persons. This is the CEB’s first microfinance operation in #Ukraine, and an important step in helping small businesses access the capital they need to stay afloat, grow, and create jobs in the face of extraordinary challenges. By partnering with a local bank rooted in the community, this pilot programme aims to deliver rapid, tangible support and lay the groundwork for broader microfinance efforts in the country. #UkraineRecovery #URC25 #URC2025
