The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced on Thursday that it has reached a staff-level agreement with Ukrainian authorities on the eighth review of Ukraine’s ongoing $15.5 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
According to an official statement from the IMF, the agreement—pending approval by the IMF Executive Board—would unlock approximately $500 million (equivalent to SDR 0.37 billion) in additional funding for Ukraine.
The EFF arrangement, launched in 2023, spans four years and is intended to support Ukraine’s macroeconomic stability, structural reforms, and post-war economic recovery amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Approval by the Executive Board will bring Ukraine closer to meeting its fiscal needs and reinforce investor confidence as the country continues to implement economic policies under challenging wartime conditions.
Further details on the review and disbursement timeline are expected following the Executive Board’s formal deliberations.
