Today we have the following indicators, the following parameters — more than 126 billion hryvnias in the treasury account as of yesterday, $40.3 billion in gold and foreign exchange reserves. In fact, the budget execution for the first two months plus more than 2 billion hryvnias
That is, we are filling our budget for both January and February. Both customs and the tax service have met their targets, for which I am extremely grateful to Ukrainian businesses. Because taxes are being paid in full and even with overperformance, this allows us to fully meet all the needs of our armed forces.
Shmyhal also reported that Ukraine successfully passed the seventh review of the IMF program and signed a staff-level agreement. This will allow for the receipt of another tranche of $0.4 billion. Shmyhal emphasized that the IMF program is key to Ukraine's financial support, as other international aid mechanisms are formed around it.
Among the main sources of revenue:
- The Ukraine Facility program from the EU – €12.5 billion;
- Macro-financial assistance from the EU – €18 billion in 2024;
- Financial support from the United Kingdom – over $3 billion;
- Funds under the 'Era' initiative – $50 billion;
