The joint efforts of state authorities led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have made it possible to attract more than USD 14 billion in external financing from Ukraine's allies. Ukraine plans to receive another sum worth USD 12 to 16 billion by the end of the year. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced during a session of the Government.

"Simultaneously, we engage in negotiations regarding the possibility of launching a new major program with the International Monetary Fund. Also, more than USD 5 billion will be saved for the budget and Ukrainian citizens thanks to the successful talks that the Government conducted with external creditors. "Ukraine has postponed the repayment of foreign debts until at least 2024," the Prime Minister noted.

Denys Shmyhal emphasized that the Government, together with the National Bank, had managed to ensure macroeconomic and macro-financial stability. According to him, credit, tax, regulatory incentives in combination with certain targeted assistance made it possible to maintain control over the economic front.

"As a result, up to now over 80% of enterprises have returned to work. The Government helped more than 600 companies relocate to safe regions, where they resumed production activities," the Head of Government noted.

Moreover, the Prime Minister emphasized that Ukrainian businesses and Ukrainian citizens demonstrate better awareness than ever and, despite the difficulties, pay taxes, because they know that in such a way they help the army and the Ukrainian military.
