“I am grateful to the International Monetary Fund for its continued solidarity and support. We are working together and in a coordinated manner for victory, recovery and growth,” the Prime Minister emphasized.
The IMF notes that Ukraine's economy remains resilient, and the government has met all quantitative performance criteria as of end-March and on an ongoing basis, preliminary measures, and two structural beacons for review.
In addition, four new lighthouses have been installed. Among them:
- measures to update the Unified Project Portfolio for the Implementation of Public Investments;
- preparation of a priority roadmap for financial market infrastructure;
- implementation of international assessment standards;
- development of legislative proposals to bring securitization and bonds into line with international standards.
It is noted that Ukraine has requested a revision of the schedule of access to IMF financing for the rest of 2025 to better align it with updated balance of payments needs.
More than $10 billion has already been received in Ukraine under the EFF program. According to Prime Minister Shmyhal, this is an important contribution to maintaining Ukrainian sustainability and macro-financial stability.
