FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE ACTIVITIES OF NON-FINANCIAL CORPORATIONS IN UKRAINE

Keywords: financial support, non-financial corporations, bank lending, self-financing, macroeconomic instability, countercyclical model, capital structure, investment financing

Abstract

The article explores the theoretical foundations and current trends of financial support for non-financial corporations (NFCs) in Ukraine under conditions of macroeconomic instability. It defines the concept of NFCs from statistical, institutional, and applied perspectives, emphasizing their multifunctional nature as both producers of market goods and indirect participants in financial intermediation processes. The study analyzes the transformation of corporate financing structures in 2020–2024, revealing a pronounced shift from traditional bank lending to internal sources of funding and self-financing due to rising credit risks, liquidity shortages, and elevated interest rates. The procyclical behavior of the banking sector is highlighted, showing that during economic downturns, access to capital becomes increasingly limited, reinforcing recessionary effects. The paper substantiates the need for a countercyclical financial framework that integrates banking, fiscal, and market mechanisms along with international development finance. The authors propose a hybrid model of financial support that combines monetary policy tools, targeted state programs, credit guarantees, and capital market instruments to enhance the resilience and investment capacity of the corporate sector in wartime and postwar recovery phases. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of government credit initiatives, cooperation with international financial institutions such as the EBRD and the World Bank, and the development of non-bank and digital financial channels, including leasing, factoring, and crowdfunding platforms. The results confirm that sustainable financial support for NFCs requires diversification of funding sources, institutional strengthening of the capital market, and the creation of a transparent, innovation-oriented financial ecosystem. The paper concludes that improving the interaction between real and financial sectors, increasing financial literacy among managers, and fostering investment-oriented regulation are crucial preconditions for stabilizing the Ukrainian economy and stimulating long-term inclusive growth.
