The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the National Bank and the IMF experts completed a series of meetings that took place from September 3 to September 10 to discuss the implementation of the Extended Financing Mechanism (EFF).
Participants focused on the state budget-2025, the parameters of the budget-2026, medium-term planning and structural reforms. IMF representatives have positively assessed the stability of the government and the implementation of the key provisions of the program.
Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko noted that Ukraine has successfully passed a record eight views under the program, thanking the Foundation for the afternoon expert and financial support.
At the same time, he stressed that budget planning occurs in conditions of high uncertainty due to continuing fighting. According to the minister, the parties also discussed the need to prepare a new financial cooperation program, which will better meet the current and medium -term needs of Ukraine.
He added that the IMF dialogue will last in the coming weeks to reconcile further steps.
Earlier, Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko called on the IMF to approve a new cooperation program with Ukraine, since the world donors have only allocated only half of the estimated $ 75 billion required for the budget for the next two years.
The International Monetary Fund requires Ukraine to approve a law that provides up to 23% of citizens ‘taxes through OLX, PROM, Kabanchik and others’ online platforms. The relevant decision of the government must make already the end of 2025.
