The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated that a financing gap of $65 billion for 2026-2029, needed to be found by Ukraine’s partners, a well-placed source told Kyiv Post. “It’s the financing gap that needs to be closed for a new program,” the source told Kyiv Post. Ukraine’s current $15.6 billion program with the IMF expires in 2027, and most of the funds under it have already been committed. This is the first IMF program in history granted to a country involved in an active war. The estimate differs from the NBU’s figure of an “unidentified” gap of $12.7 billion for Ukraine’s needs in 2026.
