Ukraine's Financial Needs for 2025
Ukraine's external financing needs for 2025 have been fully met.
This was stated by Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko.
"This year, budget support from key partners amounts to 16.8 billion US dollars. Thanks to our coordinated efforts, the external financing needs for the current year are completely fulfilled," he reported.
At the same time, he emphasized that Ukraine must remain financially prepared for any developments.
"In 2026, international support will remain critical for maintaining financial stability, economic recovery, and attracting foreign investments," Marchenko continued.
The need for external financing in 2025 is estimated at 39.3 billion dollars.
Marchenko also noted that due to the growth of domestic revenues and stable financing, the country is gradually reducing the budget deficit.
"As of the first quarter of 2025, the general fund revenues of the state budget increased by 1 billion dollars compared to the same period in 2024," the report states.
Additionally, due to the issuance of government bonds, the budget has already attracted 3 billion dollars in 2025. The budget deficit is expected to decrease to 19.4% of GDP in 2025, down from 24% in 2024.
