EBRD grants Winner Leasing a loan of 10 million euros

According to a press release, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has agreed a loan of 10 million euros with Winner Leasing. This is the company’s first partnership with the bank in the financial sector.

According to the EBRD, the facility is intended to provide “medium-term financing” for Ukrainian micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which continue to face limited access to credit during the war.

Winner Leasing – part of Winner Group Ukraine – said the loan will be used to support fleet investments, including cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, machinery and equipment.

The bank noted that MSMEs have experienced “significant disruption” and that leasing has become an increasingly important option, allowing companies to acquire assets without large upfront costs.

At least 40 percent of the loan proceeds will go towards environmentally friendly equipment, in line with the EBRD’s Green Economy Transition strategy. These include electric vehicles, charging infrastructure and hybrid technologies. The bank said such investments would “contribute to energy efficiency and energy security” for Ukrainian companies.

Founded in 2016, Winner Leasing is part of Winner Group Ukraine and provides financial and operating leasing services across multiple sectors. The company has been an EBRD customer since 2021.

The EBRD remains Ukraine’s largest institutional lender, having provided more than 8.5 billion euros to the country’s real economy since February 2022. The bank has also secured a capital increase of €4 billion to continue financing Ukraine’s economy during the conflict and future reconstruction.

Founded in 1994, Winner Group has grown from a single-brand Ford dealer/importer to a large multi-brand automotive group in Ukraine, representing a range of premium and mass-market brands (Ford, Volvo, MG, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, Bentley). Its owner and CEO is Ivan Hynansky.
