IMF and Ukraine reach staff-level agreement on next loan tranche pending board approval

Friday, June 12, 2026Business & MarketsWell-covered3 frames

The Facts

  • The IMF and Ukrainian authorities reached a staff-level agreement on the first review of Ukraine’s four-year, $8.1 billion Extended Fund Facility program.
  • If the IMF Executive Board approves the review, Ukraine would gain access to about $690 million in additional financing.
  • The IMF said that among structural benchmarks for the first quarter, one was not met and two were completed with delays.
  • The IMF and Ukraine agreed to a revised timetable for carrying out reforms under the program.
  • The IMF said Ukraine met the program’s quantitative performance criteria through the end of March even as progress on structural reforms slowed.
  • If approved, the new disbursement would bring total IMF payouts to Ukraine under the program to about $2.2 billion.
  • The funds have not yet been disbursed because the staff-level agreement still requires approval by the IMF Executive Board.

What is still unresolved?
