According to the ministry, the total financing Ukraine has received under the new Extended Fund Facility program has reached about $2.2 billion.
The funds have already been transferred to the state budget and will be used to finance priority expenditures and maintain macrofinancial stability amid the ongoing full-scale war.
“The program was approved by the IMF Executive Board on Feb. 26, 2026. The new EFF program totals $8.1 billion for 2026-2029,” the Finance Ministry said. “It takes into account the updated macroeconomic and security conditions facing the country, as well as Ukraine’s significant current and medium-term fiscal needs.”
The ministry said the program calls for prudent fiscal policy, including measures to strengthen revenue mobilization by creating a level playing field for taxpayers and reducing opportunities for tax evasion.
“The new program also helps mobilize large-scale external financial support to cover budgetary needs,” the ministry said.
“According to joint estimates by the Ukrainian government and the IMF, the overall external financing gap for 2026-2029 will amount to approximately $136.5 billion under the baseline scenario.”
As reported, the IMF Executive Board on July 20 completed the first review of Ukraine’s four-year EFF program, allowing for the immediate disbursement of SDR 503 million, or about $690 million, as the second tranche.
