Building bridges for western businesses to Ukraine, that’s our job!

As Raiffeisen Bank International we have the expertise and know-how to support businesses on their journey to do business in Ukraine. Many already seize opportunities or prepare to launch activities soon. Raiffeisen Bank International AG, under the lead of Valerie Brunner conducted many meetings at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 in Rome. Grazie Roma!

Personally, I found Ms Olena Zelenska‘s intervention particularly memorable. She reminded us of the huge sufferings brave Ukrainian people are enduring, as well as their strengths and determination.

How can banks help to rebuild Ukraine?

  • Provide trusted local presence & financial infrastructure
  • Support capital formation through risk-sharing, guarantees & securitisation
  • Partner with IFIs and donor platforms to unlock scalable finance
  • Offer advisory and structuring capabilities for large, multi-year investment needs
  • Channel EU instruments into bankable solutions for businesses and municipalities
  • Build confidence through compliance and transparency

But to succeed, we need more than just goodwill. We need:

  • Investment-grade frameworks
  • Political risk insurance with EU backing
  • Regulatory flexibility (CRR equivalence, FRTB adjustments)
  • Efficient, transparent platforms to crowd in private capital
