These include strengthening fiscal institutions and tax administration, improving governance and anti‐corruption systems, developing financial and market infrastructure for reconstruction with private capital, and advancing the market economy.
As reported, the IMF mission led by Gavin Gray began work in Ukraine on August 31, 2026. Discussions will focus on economic prospects, government commitments to macroeconomic and structural reforms under the IMF's Extended Fund (EFF), and the 2027 budget draft.
On February 26, the IMF Executive Board approved a four‐year EFF arrangement for Ukraine covering 2026–2029, reflecting updated macroeconomic and security conditions. The program provides $8.1 billion in budget support; $2.2 billion has already been disbursed to the state budget.
