IMF increases funding for Ukraine by almost $880 million in 2025
The International Monetary Fund has increased the amount of credit funds to be allocated to Ukraine in 2025 by almost $880 million.
According to RBC-Ukraine, this is stated in an updated IMF memorandum.
According to the document, the IMF previously planned to allocate $1.835 billion to Ukraine in 2025 in two tranches of $917.5 million (at the current USD to SDR exchange rate) in March and August.
Now, it is planned to disburse $2.712 billion in four tranches: $917.5 million in March, $809.6 million in June, $539.8 million in August, and $445.3 million in December.
The increase in lending in 2025 will be made possible by loans that were previously planned to be disbursed in 2026-2027.
Earlier, tranches of $1.3 billion were planned for Ukraine in March and August 2026 and March 2027. Now their size has been reduced to $941.3 million, $1.007 billion, and $1.069 billion, respectively.
