US EditionIMF, Ukraine reach staff-level agreement on $8.2 billion, four-year program
The $8.2 billion program aims to support Ukraine's fiscal stability, reforms, and debt sustainability amid war-driven financing needs, pending IMF Executive Board approval.
- The International Monetary Fund staff reached a staff-level agreement to provide $8.2 billion over 4 years under an Extended Fund Facility, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said on November 27 after intensive talks in Kyiv led by Gavin Gray.
- Facing a deep financing gap, Ukraine spends all tax revenues on military spending about $62.8 billion next year and needs $61 billion to balance 2026-27 books amid more than three years of war.
- IMF conditions require Kyiv to complete prior actions, secure donor assurances, and meet reform benchmarks including anti-corruption institutions and public procurement reforms before IMF Executive Board approval.
- Positioned to support 2026-2029, Gavin Gray, IMF mission leader, said the program will catalyze large-scale support but warned risks remain very high due to conflict uncertainty.
- Kyiv is awaiting IMF Executive Board approval and the formal document is expected within days, while the IMF approved a $1.1 billion tranche, bringing total disbursements to about $9.8 billion.
