Apparently, we will have a new program with the International Monetary Fund, and financing will be built around it. Currently, we are short about $10 billion. Given the total need of $45 billion, this no longer looks so significant. We need to find another 25 percent, and we have already financed 75 percent. Therefore, it no longer sounds scary. Plus, there are still five months, and we understand that, as was the case in the White House, all the adults went there with us. And these adults are not going anywhere, so they will take care of the issue of how to find money to finance Ukraine,&#8221; Fursa noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_uroRz6tIdQ<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/the-imf-has-put-forward-new-requirements-for-ukraine-is-the-government-ready-for-real-reforms\/\">The IMF has put forward new requirements for Ukraine: is the government ready for real reforms?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> At the same time, he commented on the statements of some politicians that Ukraine is already bankrupt, the state debt has reached one hundred percent of GDP, and the amount of its service is only growing every year, so such payments allegedly make it impossible to effectively restore the country after the war.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We are not bankrupt&#8230; First, we do not have 100 percent of GDP debt, about 90. This is, of course, more than what it was when we entered the war, when it was about 60. This is worse, but there is nothing critical about it. In half of Europe, this figure is much higher, in the United States, this figure is much higher. That is why this figure has been stable for the last few years&#8230; The Americans gave us grants, that is, there is no debt there. And the European Union gave us loans. What kind of loans are these? These are 30-year loans at 0%. This is not a problem for us,&#8221; the investment banker explains.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, according to him, there will be no special debt burden on future generations of Ukrainians.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Firstly, as soon as we come out of the war, we have no increase in the cost of servicing this debt. It is 0%. And with budgets, we spend exactly what goes on interest. Thus, servicing it is not very attractive to us. And the debt itself will be eaten up by inflation in 30 years, plus, most likely, we will have been members of the European Union for a long time by then, and it will be written off,&#8221; Fursa added.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/ukraines-public-debt-has-increased-by-billions-what-does-this-mean\/\">Ukraine&#8217;s public debt has increased by billions: what does this mean?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;Therefore, the conclusion is this: there is no bankruptcy, there is no special debt burden on our grandchildren, and so on. There is an increase in debt to GDP, which could not have happened during the war. But it does not bring us anything tragic,&#8221; emphasized investment banker Serhiy Fursa.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko announced that the State Budget of Ukraine for 2026 will be formed based on the scenario of the continuation of the war for the whole year. The estimate for the coming year <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ukraina-hotuie-biudzhet-na-2026-rik-iz-rozrakhunkom-na-prodovzhennia-boyovykh-diy\/\">assumes the need for external financing, which amounts to $45 billion<\/a> . According to Marchenko, this need is not fully covered at the moment, but negotiations are already underway with the G7 countries and the EU.<\/p>\n<p> It was previously reported that the International Monetary Fund is considering the possibility <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/prohrama-mvf-dlia-ukrainy-pid-zahrozoiu-fond-hotuie-novi-umovy\/\">of ending the current financing program for Ukraine<\/a> and launching a new, longer-term one. Such scenarios are being discussed as part of preparations for the next stage of cooperation.<\/p>\n<p> The updated program will include a review of Ukraine&#8217;s reform commitments, including: restarting the Bureau of Economic Security, changes in the customs service, repealing the &#8220;Lozovoi amendments,&#8221; and introducing transparent corporate governance rules in state-owned enterprises. In particular, it concerns the open selection of members of supervisory boards and heads of state-owned companies.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2026, Ukraine will have enough funds to finance the state budget, as relevant negotiations are underway with the IMF and the G7 on lending.
