NBU expects to receive almost USD 15 billion in external financing by end of year

The National Bank predicts that by the end of the year it is expected to receive almost USD 15 billion in external financing.

This is stated in the materials of the NBU, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"The volume of international assistance remains sufficient for non-issue financing of the budget deficit and maintaining an adequate level of international reserves. International support for Ukraine remains. In August-October, Ukraine received over USD 13 billion in external financing. By the end of the year, almost USD 15 billion more is expected to be received," the report says.

The NBU also assumes that sustainable and sufficient international financing will remain in place in the coming years, primarily through a reparations loan based on immobilized russian assets.

This will allow the NBU to continue financing the budget deficit from non-issue sources and to keep international reserves at an adequate level sufficient to maintain the stability of the foreign exchange market.

At the same time, the NBU reminds that economic growth is expected to accelerate moderately in the coming years due to increased harvests and increased investment in reconstruction projects and the defense sector.

The further European integration of Ukraine and the gradual return of the economy to normal conditions will also have a positive impact on investment activity, which will be reflected, in particular, in the stabilization of the situation in the energy sector and the reversal of negative migration dynamics.

Taking into account these factors, the NBU forecasts real GDP growth in Ukraine by 2% in 2026 and by 2.8% in 2027.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in July this year, it was reported that Ukraine's need for external financing in 2026 will remain at over USD 40 billion.
