Ukraine’s External Financing Needs for 2025 Fully Met

According to Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko, Ukraine received significant financial support from international partners in 2025. The total amount of aid will reach 16.8 billion US dollars, which has fully satisfied the country’s external financing needs for 2025.

The minister emphasized that Ukraine must remain prepared for any possible scenarios in the future. He stated that in 2026, international support will remain critically important for maintaining financial stability, restoring the economy, and attracting foreign investments.

Strengthening the Financial System and Reducing the Budget Deficit

Serhiy Marchenko highlighted that measures to strengthen the financial system are being intensified in the country. Thanks to increased domestic revenues and stable funding, Ukraine is gradually reducing the budget deficit. As of the first quarter of 2025, the revenues of the general fund of the state budget increased by 1 billion dollars compared to the same period in 2024. Additionally, in 2025, 3 billion dollars have already been raised for the budget through the issuance of government bonds.

The budget deficit is expected to decrease to 19.4% of GDP in 2025, while in 2024 it was 24%. The country is also receiving additional funds under the ERA program – a total of 50 billion dollars, financed by revenues from frozen Russian assets.
