Mortgage Reform in Ukraine: What Will Change and Why It Matters for Homebuyers

19.08.2025

Kyiv, Ukraine

Why Changes Are Needed

The “єOselya” program became one of the most successful housing initiatives in Ukraine. In 2025 alone, 1,345 families took out mortgages totaling more than UAH 2.4 billion, and overall the program has already helped over 16,185 households.

However, the program’s limitations — both technical and financial — revealed the need for a larger, systemic reform.

Goals of the New Strategy

The National Mortgage Development Strategy is designed for 2025–2029. Its main objectives are:

  • expanding access to mortgages, especially for young families;

  • supporting demographic growth through preferential lending for families with children;

  • solving housing issues for those affected by the war, including mandatory housing insurance and legislative changes.


    What’s New Compared to “єOselya”

    Area Previous Program New Strategy
    Target Audience IDPs, military, doctors, scientists Expanded to include young people and families with children
    Guarantees & Insurance Partial interest compensation Mass housing insurance against war-related risks
    Legal Framework Complicated bankruptcy procedures, especially when children are registered in the property Simplified legal process and stronger creditor protections
    Financing Tools State subsidies only Development of securitization and mortgage bonds

Who Will Implement the Reform

The implementation of the mortgage strategy involves:

  • National Bank of Ukraine,

  • Cabinet of Ministers,

  • National Securities and Stock Market Commission,

  • Verkhovna Rada (legislative changes).

A detailed roadmap with specific steps will accompany the reform.
