EBRD approves EUR 25 mln working capital and investment loan for Rozetka

On April 17, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) approved a EUR 25 million long-term loan to the Rozetka corporate group, including EUR 20 million for LLC Rozetka.ua in Ukraine and EUR 5 million for LLC Rozetka EU in Poland, according to the financial institution’s documents.

It is noted that EUR 10 million of this amount is intended to finance the working capital of the group’s Ukrainian and Polish operations, and the bank can provide up to EUR 15 million for working capital and potential capital investments in Ukraine and Poland.

The project will receive partial coverage of the risk of first losses from the European Union under the Ukraine Investment Facility (UIF), which supports green investments in key economic sectors and facilitates war-time recovery.

According to the bank, the project will also facilitate the reintegration of veterans and other vulnerable groups, and the "green" component of the financing includes the purchase of energy-efficient household appliances.

The loan will provide the Rozetka Group with longer-term financial resources unavailable on the local market, support the early development of its Polish operations, and help strengthen HR policies, skills development, and women’s participation within the company.

As reported by YouControl, companies in the Rozetka corporate group earned a total of UAH 30.2 billion in revenue from January to September 2025, accounting for 76% of the total revenue of the 10 largest online retailers.

Rozetka was founded by Vladyslav and Iryna Chechotkin in Kyiv in 2005. A fund managed by Horizon Capital later became a co-owner. The company now operates as a multi-category online marketplace and is developing a network of its own stores.
