The World Bank, in partnership with the Swiss Government’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), has launched the Ukraine Finance for Growth program—an ambitious new initiative to support financial sector reforms critical to Ukraine’s recovery and long-term growth.

A $3.9 million grant through the Finance for Development (F4D) Umbrella Program will help advance financial resilience, promote inclusive access to finance, and diversify the financial sector.

The Ukraine Finance for Growth program focuses on several strategic areas:

  • Enhancing supervisory infrastructure at the National Bank of Ukraine to strengthen risk-based supervision through SupTech.

  • Supporting the Deposit Guarantee Fund and the broader financial safety net.

  • Collaborating with the State Property Fund to strengthen Ukraine’s Valuation Framework.

  • Increasing the capacity of the High Anti-Corruption Court to address money laundering cases and promote financial integrity.

  • Expanding access to finance by promoting digital financial services and strengthening support programs for priority sectors and exporters, in partnership with Ukraine’s Export Credit Agency.

  • Developing deeper and more diversified financial markets, including capital markets, through support to the National Securities and Stock Market Commission.

The program launch is following the agreement signed between the Swiss government and the World Bank during the 2025 World Bank Group–IMF Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C.
