Ukrainian authorities and the IMF mission have concluded policy discussions on the implementation of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program

The leadership of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the National Bank of Ukraine, and staff from the International Monetary Fund completed discussions on the implementation of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF).

The meetings took place from September 3 to 10.

The parties discussed the implementation of the 2025 State Budget, the indicators of the 2026 draft budget, medium-term budget planning, and the structural reforms envisaged under the program.

IMF staff once again commended the effective work of the Government of Ukraine in implementing the EFF program and maintaining the country’s financial stability.

“Ukraine has successfully completed a record eight reviews under the program. I am grateful to the IMF for its consistent expert and financial support. At the same time, active hostilities continue, and the planning of Ukraine’s State Budget for the next year is taking place under conditions of high uncertainty. Over the past week, together with the IMF, we discussed the need to prepare a new financial cooperation program that would better reflect Ukraine’s current and medium-term priorities. We expect to continue a close dialogue in the coming weeks to agree on the next steps,” – said Sergii Marchenko following the meetings.
