I chaired a dedicated meeting with Ukraine’s economic and financial team, including the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economy, National Bank of Ukraine, State Treasury Service, and National Securities and Stock Market Commission.
We identified the immediate steps needed to fulfill Ukraine’s international commitments, which are essential for continued partner financing, and to safeguard macrofinancial stability.
Our unconditional priority remains full funding for Ukraine’s Defense Forces. We also discussed financing for the country’s resilience plans and key social expenditures.
We are updating financing needs through the end of 2026 while simultaneously preparing the draft State Budget for 2027.
Meetings on the state of Ukraine’s public finances and macroeconomic outlook will now be held regularly.
