IMF, Ukraine Seal Staff-Level Deal on Four-Year, $8.2 Billion Program

The package is designed to catalyze wider aid to cover a financing gap near $136.5 billion.

Overview

  • The agreement remains subject to IMF Executive Board approval, completion of prior actions, and sufficient financing assurances from donors before any disbursements.
  • IMF officials said the framework targets macroeconomic stability, restored debt sustainability and external viability, and strengthened governance with anti-corruption and procurement reforms.
  • Kyiv says its 2026 state budget was prepared within the program’s parameters and has urged parliament to pass it.
  • Ukraine continues to press the EU for a reparations loan backed by frozen Russian assets as the IMF expects the program to help mobilize large-scale external support.
  • Ukraine has received about $10.6 billion under the current 2023–2027 IMF arrangement, while the new facility is planned to support the 2026–2029 period.
