It is expected that the Fund’s Board will decide on the allocation of the next tranche to Ukraine of up to $1.1 billion. If the decision passes, this will increase the total amount that Ukraine will have received under the EFF to $9.8 billion.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on November 19, Ukraine and the IMF reached a staff-level agreement on the sixth review of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF). The 48-month program has been in effect since March 2023. It provides for the possibility of allocating up to $15.5 billion in loans to Ukraine.
