EY Ukraine advises on the development of a comprehensive regulatory framework for agrarian notes in Ukraine

EY Ukraine is acting as an advisor to the International Finance Corporation (IFC, member of the World Bank Group) Project "Ukraine Agricultural Capital Markets Development". The collaboration focuses on developing a regulatory framework to support the implementation of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Agrarian Notes’ to become effective on January 1, 2025.

The agricultural sector stands as a cornerstone of Ukraine's economy. Enhancing financial accessibility within this sector has the potential to boost productivity and profitability, as well as elevate the quality of materials and inputs utilized.

The purpose of the Law of Ukraine "On Agrarian Notes" is to introduce a new financial instrument for lending to agricultural production, which allows using the advantages of the capital markets and the depository system of Ukraine.

Throughout the duration of the project, EY will focus on developing:

• The operational procedure for the Agrarian Notes Register in Ukraine;
• Protocols for electronic communication between the Agrarian Notes Register, Ukraine's depository system, and state registers;
• The methodology for recording non-certificated securities within the Ukrainian depository accounting system.

Furthermore, the project involves the coordination of a series of informative training sessions covering various aspects of agrarian notes transactions, specifically tailored for farmers, banking institutions, and companies engaged in providing loans to farmers.
