Developmental and Regional Cooperation Impact:

The Project is expected to have modest but favorable economic benefits for the Ukrainian economy, the most relevant being additional tax revenue gains from increased economic activity. In addition, the amount provided will help further enhance benefits such as increases in employment, increase in export capacity and competitiveness, and multiplier effects for other parts of the economy. The regional cooperation element is similarly expected to be modest but favorable. Other BSTDB countries are important trade partners for Ukraine so a portion of exports is likely to go there, while the import financing provided under the facility will be restricted to importation of goods from other BSTDB member countries. Such transactions will have positive, albeit modest, impact on regional cooperation, helping to enhance intra-regional trade.

Environmental Classification and Impact (summary):

In order to reduce/avoid any Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) impacts that potentially may arise from trade finance activities, the Borrower shall follow the BSTDB's Negative List of Products and local EH&S legislation, as well as make sure that the beneficiaries fully comply with these requirements. The Borrower shall immediately notify the BSTDB of occurrence of any incident or accident relating to any underlying export or import transaction of which the Borrower is, or ought to be aware, and which is likely to adversely affect the state of environment, and/or human health and safety.
