On February 26, winners of the finance market leaders rating received recognition at the award ceremony organized by Delo.ua and “TOP-100: Ratings of the biggest” magazine in Kyiv. Credit Agricole came first in the “Bank with best conditions for agrarians” category. The award was accepted by Oleksandr Shelest, Head of Mid Corporate Business and SME Department at Credit Agricole Bank. The key objective of the rating is to recognize financial institutions that contributed the most to the resilience of the Ukrainian economy and became the best in their segment based on 2024 results.

“Agro is part of our DNA. The international Group started its history 130 years ago as a bank for farmers, and in Ukraine we have been a strategic partner for the agrarian companies for over 15 years. We keep cultivating lasting trust-based relationship with our customers and offer them a unique blend of the agrarian and financial expertise as well as solidity of one of the largest financial groups worldwide. We are grateful to every customer for placing their trust in us and promise to live up to it now and in the future”, - noted Oleksandr Shelest.

The share of the agrarian sector accounts for around 50% of the bank’s corporate portfolio. Credit Agricole serves 2500 agrarian business customers. These include multinational corporations, large agrarian holdings, mid agro-industrial companies and smaller farms.

The competition jury panel also commended great efficiency of the bank’s top managers. Carlos de Cordoue, Chairman of the Management Board of Credit Agricole, was awarded as part of the rating “TOP CEO of the financial market”.
