The National Bank believes that the volume of international financial assistance in 2025 will be sufficient for emission-free financing of the budget deficit and maintaining a stable situation in the foreign exchange market.
This is stated in the NBU message, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
It is noted that in recent months, the risks of insufficient international financing in 2025 have significantly decreased due to progress in the implementation of the Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism (ULCM), which provides an irrevocable form of macro-financial assistance, as well as in the allocation of funds under the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) Loans for Ukraine program.
Accordingly, the NBU forecast for the receipt of international assistance in the amount of more than USD 38 billion next year remains relevant.
This financing, in particular, will allow the NBU to maintain an appropriate level of international reserves to ensure the stability of the foreign exchange market.
The key risk for inflationary dynamics and economic development remains the course of a full-scale war.
Russian aggression poses risks of further decline in economic potential, in particular due to the loss of people, territories and industries.
The speed of the economy's return to normal functioning will depend on the nature and duration of hostilities.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the U.S. Treasury Department announced the allocation of a USD 20 billion loan to Ukraine, which will be repaid from the proceeds from frozen russian assets.
