KYIV, July 26 – In April-June 2022, Ukrainian banks noted an increase in the negative impact of the war on lending indicators, however, they expect a moderate resumption of demand for loans and an increase in all types of risks, according to the results of a quarterly survey of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) on bank lending conditions.

According to it, banks also note the further strengthening of lending standards and the lowest level of approval of applications.

"In April-June 2022, the interest of borrowers in business loans did not change significantly. As in the first quarter, the need for working capital, debt restructuring and domestic financing increased demand. Demand for hryvnia and short-term loans partially recovered, mostly for SMEs," says the survey.
