Today at the meeting, I handed a letter to the head of the IMF mission, Gavin Gray, with a request for a new cooperation program that should support Ukraine over the next few years. We agreed to continue the necessary consultations between our teams in the coming months to get a positive decision from the IMF Board of Directors by the end of the year.

AdditionallyIn addition, according to Svyrydenko, during the conversation, the draft state budget for 2026 was discussed.

Our priority remains unchanged — financing defense and social programs. For this, we are working on finding internal resources and mobilizing international financing. We also focused on issues of attracting capital for the development of the private sector, deregulation, and energy recovery. I am sincerely grateful to the IMF team for their consistent and reliable support of Ukraine.
