Summary

This paper presents Seventh Review under the Extended Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), Requests for Modification of a Performance Criterion, Rephasing of Access, and Financing Assurances Review. Ukraine’s economy remains resilient, and performance remains strong under the EFF despite challenging conditions. The authorities met all end-December and continuous quantitative performance criteria, the prior action for this review, and the majority of structural benchmarks. Sustained reform momentum, progress at domestic revenue mobilization, as well as full and timely disbursement of external support during the program period, is necessary to safeguard macroeconomic stability, restore fiscal and debt sustainability, and improve governance. While the financial sector remains stable, vigilance is needed given heightened risks. Institutional weaknesses in the security markets regulator need to be tackled. Looking ahead, improving Ukraine’s capital markets infrastructure will be one of the key steps to attracting foreign capital for reconstruction.
