USD 3.35 billion received by the State Budget under the World Bank’s First Jobs and Private Sector Growth Development Policy Operation: Prime Minister

Ukraine’s State Budget has received USD 3.35 billion under the First Jobs and Private Sector Growth Development Policy Operation, implemented jointly with the World Bank, Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko announced.

“This is the result of the agreements signed by Ukraine and the World Bank on 24 June on the sidelines of the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC-2026),” the Prime Minister said. “The funds will be used to support macro-financial stability and finance priority State Budget expenditures under martial law.”

The financing was made possible by a comprehensive package of reforms. To fulfil the programme’s requirements, the Government and the Verkhovna Rada adopted 13 laws and 7 secondary legislative acts.

“The reforms covered key areas, including improving the public procurement system, developing factoring, integrating energy markets with the EU, transforming the agricultural sector, supporting veteran entrepreneurship, advancing housing policy, modernising pre-school and vocational education, and restoring the greenhouse gas emissions monitoring system,” Yulia Svyrydenko said.

The next phase of the programme envisages attracting a further USD 1 billion by the end of 2026, subject to the fulfilment of the agreed conditions.

Part of the financing is backed by guarantees provided by the governments of the United Kingdom and Japan.
