Financial Support for Ukraine
At the beginning of March, Ukraine received the first tranche of funds from the IMF under the new four-year funding program. In February of this year, the IMF Board of Directors approved an extended funding program for Ukraine amounting to 8.1 billion US dollars. These funds are intended to help the country maintain macroeconomic stability and continue implementing structural reforms.
