Govt lifts restrictions on investment loan insurance through Export Credit Agency
On March 25, the Cabinet of Ministers amended Resolution No. 388, which defines the procedure and conditions for insuring investment loans, removing the list of risks covered by the Export Credit Agency (ECA).
"Prior to that, ECAs could only insure investment loans against military and/or political risks. From now on, this restriction has been lifted: the list will be determined by ECAs' internal policies," the message reads.
This provides banks and businesses with broader insurance coverage for investment loans, more opportunities to attract financing for capital investments, reduced risks for banks lending to investment projects, and new conditions for modernizing production and restoring capacity.
As reported, amendments to the law "On financial mechanisms for stimulating export activities," adopted in October 2025, expanded the powers of the ECA.
The Export Credit Agency of Ukraine (ECA) is a government agency that supports non-resource exports by insuring the risks of enterprises and banks. The agency insures foreign trade contracts, export credits, bank guarantees, and investment loans against war risks.
