For Kyiv entrepreneurs who will take part in the state program "Available Loans", the final rates will be from 2.5 to 4.5 percent in local currency (UAH). This was stated by Vitali Klitschko during an online press conference, answering questions received from the media.

After analyzing the terms of the state program "Available Loans", we held consultations with the German Foundation for Entrepreneurship Development and partner banks. As a result, the interest rate on loans to entrepreneurs in the capital has been halved. That is, for Kyiv entrepreneurs who will take part in the state program "Available Loans", the final rates will be from 2.5 to 4.5 percent in hryvnia. There are no such conditions in any city of Ukraine now. That's why I invite Kyiv entrepreneurs to take advantage of these opportunities!” - the mayor of the capital emphasized.

He reminded that the city had prepared a decision of the Kyiv City Council to introduce a symbolic fixed share payment for summer and seasonal terraces of cafes and restaurants - 1 hryvnia. For summer terraces - until the end of October this year, for seasonal - until the end of December.

"I hope that the deputies will support such a decision at the next session. We understand that small and medium business is the basis of the city's economy. And it needs to be supported and encouraged. Today it is difficult for everyone. But I am convinced that with joint efforts and constructive cooperation we will overcome this challenge", - Vitali Klitschko stressed.
