Ukraine's Financial Needs in 2025 Fully Met

Ukraine's requirements for external financing for 2025 are fully fulfilled.

This was announced by the Finance Minister of Ukraine, Serhiy Marchenko.

"This year, budget support from key partners amounts to 16.8 billion USD. Through our cohesive collaboration, the needs for external financing this year are completely met," he stated.

He emphasized that Ukraine must remain financially prepared for any developments.

"In 2026, international support will remain critically important for maintaining financial stability, restoring the economy, and attracting foreign investments," Marchenko continued.

The external financing needs for 2025 stand at 39.3 billion USD.

Marchenko also reported that due to the growth of domestic revenues and stable financing, the country is gradually reducing its budget deficit.

"As of the first quarter of 2025, revenues of the state budget's general fund increased by 1 billion dollars compared to the same period in 2024," the statement says.

Additionally, due to the issuance of government bonds, the budget has already attracted 3 billion dollars in 2025. The budget deficit is forecasted to decrease to 19.4% of GDP in 2025 from 24% in 2024.
