In Kyiv, Think Tanks and the IMF Resident Representative Discuss Ukraine’s Key Economic Challenges
On October 7,2025 envoys of Ukraine’s leading economic think tanks met with Priscilla Toffano, the Permanent Representative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Ukraine, along with economists from the IMF’s local office.
The purpose of the meeting was to exchange views between Ms. Toffano, IMF experts, and Ukrainian economic research centers on the current economic situation in the country and the key challenges facing Ukraine in 2026.
Representatives of the expert community shared their perspectives with IMF specialists on risks, potential sources for covering the budget deficit, and priority institutional reforms.
The think tank experts emphasized several key priorities that, in their view, require special attention, including:
- • Insufficient funding for defense forces in the draft 2026 Budget, despite excessive spending on secondary and inefficient programs
- • Underfunding of the Bureau of Economic Security and Customs Service
- • The need to reboot the Tax Service (draft law No. 9243)

The International Monetary Fund’s support for Ukraine has gained an important new dimension!
We have launched a new IMF training program for Ukraine’s authorities, tailored to their needs and the objectives of the IMF-supported program. The training will be supporting the development of core macroeconomic and financial policy competences of the authorities, strengthening Ukrainian institutions and ultimately supporting the economy.
Funded by the Ukraine Capacity Development Fund with generous contributions from donor partners, the initiative aims to address urgent needs arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine—both in the current context and in the reconstruction phase. The program was initiated with a highly tailored training in macroeconomic diagnostics, managing capital flows, and financial sector surveillance.
Officials from the National Bank of Ukraine, Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, National securities and stock market comission, and Deposit Guarantee Fund (DGF Ukraine) participated in the trainings. We remain committed to further adapting future courses to Ukraine’s evolving needs, expanding to new policy areas and institutions. We are deeply grateful to all contributing partners for their continued support!
