To support micro and small agricultural enterprises in Ukraine, Agroprosperis Bank received EUR 5 million from the European Fund for South-Eastern Europe (EFSE) as part of the European Union's EU4Business initiative, the third loan since the partnership began in December 2018. The bank’s commitment to support the agricultural sector was marked by the award "Leader of agribusiness lending" in the competition "Bank of the Year 2020" from IFC "Banker".
