Ukraine's external financing needs for 2025 have been completely met.
This was announced by Ukraine's Finance Minister, Serhiy Marchenko.
“This year, budget support from key partners amounts to 16.8 billion USD. Thanks to our coordinated efforts, the financing needs for this year are fully secured,” he stated.
He also emphasized that Ukraine must remain financially prepared for any developments.
“In 2026, international support will remain critically important for maintaining financial stability, recovering the economy, and attracting foreign investments,” Marchenko continued.
The need for external financing in 2025 is estimated at 39.3 billion USD.
Marchenko also reported that due to the growth of domestic revenues and stable funding, the country is gradually reducing its budget deficit.
“According to the results of the first quarter of 2025, the revenues of the state budget's general fund increased by 1 billion USD compared to the same period in 2024,” the report states.
Additionally, due to the issuance of government bonds, 3 billion USD have already been raised for the budget in 2025. The budget deficit is projected to decrease to 19.4% of GDP in 2025 from 24% in 2024.
