On January 19th, 2012, a ceremonial event honoring the signing of a long term investment loan from Citibank to ASTARTA took place.

The five-year loan for $25 million is a part of a global lending program of Citibank and U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). ASTARTA is among first Ukrainian companies to benefit from this program.
