As part of cooperation with EBRD, Raiffeisen Bank provided the clients with up to UAH 6 bn funding in 2022-2024, which enabled creating new jobs, increasing exports, implementing socially relevant infrastructural projects and «green» technologies for food and energy resources production», said Oleksandr Pysaruk, the Chairman of Raiffeisen Bank's Management Board.
