Over the past ten years, following the 2014-2015 crisis, banks have doubled the number of active corporate borrowers to more than 17,000 companies.
According to Ukrinform, the National Bank of Ukraine said this on Facebook.
"According to the latest Financial Stability Report, businesses continue to have strong demand for loans despite the economic slowdown and high war-related risks. Banks are ready to meet this demand, with annual growth in the net hryvnia loan portfolio exceeding 30% for about a year now. Overall, the country is experiencing the longest period of credit growth in more than 15 years," the statement said.
According to the report, banks across all groups are actively lending, with comparable growth rates in their hryvnia loan portfolios.
Loans to the manufacturing and construction sectors are growing rapidly, while the largest recipients of new loans are the trade and agricultural sectors.
