AVELLUM acted as the Ukrainian legal counsel to the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine in connection with a CAD400 million concessional loan from Canada. This loan, with a repayment period of 10 years and an interest rate of 1.5% per annum, will support Ukraine in its current economic challenges. The loan, channelled through the International Monetary Fund’s Administered Account, will be used to finance Ukraine’s priority state budget expenditures.
