In February, a decision was reached at the expert level on the seventh review of the IMF programme, although Ukraine delayed the implementation of one structural benchmark and did not implement another at all. For the IMF Executive Board to approve the decision, Ukraine still has to implement preliminary measures, including the signing of laws establishing a new court and an increase in tobacco excise.

At the same time, there are also risks that Ukraine will not meet the indicators of the Ukraine Plan for the first quarter of 2025 on time, which, in the absence of the European Commission’s methodology for disbursing partial tranches, could mean a delay in the entire tranche in the second quarter of 2025.

On 27 March, RRR4U Consortium invites you to a new presentation of the Monitoring of IMF and EU assistance under the Ukraine Facility, where experts will tell you more about the progress in fulfilling Ukraine’s obligations to key international donors, as well as the risks of delays.

You will also learn about the structural beacon that has not been fulfilled: the cancellation of the Lozovyi amendments. Why is this particular beacon currently hindering the timely implementation of the IMF programme?

In the focus of the discussion:

• Challenges to securing financing in 2025;

• Challenges of the seventh review of the IMF Programme;

• Risks to the implementation of the Ukraine Plan

Special topic: “Cancellation of the Lozovyi amendments”
