In 2026-2029, Ukraine will face a funding shortfall of $136 billion. This was announced on November 26 on the website of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
"The total funding gap is estimated at about $136 billion for 2026-2029," said Gavin Gray, head of the fund's mission to Ukraine.
According to him, in the next two years Kiev will need financing in the amount of $ 63 billion.
On the same day, it became known that the Ukrainian authorities and the IMF reached an agreement at the expert level on a new expanded financing program for the country in the amount of about $8.1 billion. It is noted that the relevant negotiations were held from November 17 to November 21 at the initiative of Ukraine.
