DFC at Work: Supporting Ukraine
We’re here
for Ukraine.
Access to private capital is the key to economic growth; it is the lifeblood of business. What is true in more peaceful times is especially true for a nation defending itself against a brutal invasion. These beliefs have guided the work of DFC in our enduring commitment to Ukraine.
We were in Ukraine well before the war, with more than $800 million in investments across a range of sectors. Since 2022, DFC has surged its efforts to mobilize private capital and support Ukrainian businesses in agriculture, small business, energy, and health. DFC will be in Ukraine in the future, for as long as it takes.
We’re investing in Ukraine.
DFC invests in private sector solutions to some of the world’s most critical challenges. Ukraine has long been a part of this commitment. DFC is using all of its tools, including political risk insurance, loans, equity investments, and technical assistance grants, to attract private investment to Ukraine.

Superhumans Center
DFC committed $25 million in political risk insurance to the Superhumans Center, a Ukrainian non-profit that provides needed medical care, free of charge to those injured as a result of Russia’s unprovoked invasion.
DFC’s political risk insurance will play a critical role in building investor confidence and reducing investment risk in Ukraine amid the conflict.
MHP
DFC is providing a $250 million loan, and with additional support from the IFC and EBRD, is contributing to a $480 million financing package to leading Ukrainian agribusiness group MHP to strengthen food security amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
DFC’s funding will support the company’s ability to increase food production and storage and support its export capacity, while mitigating the devastating effects of food insecurity exacerbated by the war.
Bank Lviv
DFC provided two loan portfolio guaranties worth a total of $35 million to Bank Lviv – a major commercial bank in Western Ukraine – to deliver immediate support to Ukrainian small businesses, including women-owned businesses and smallholder farmers.
DFC-guaranteed loans will help small businesses remain open, providing employment, maintaining trade linkages, and supporting the economy.
Building the future starts today.
The time is now.
In spite of the war, Ukraine’s people and economy have shown their resilience, and some sectors of the economy are still growing. Private investors can participate in that growth right now, and DFC stands ready to support.
