The head of the budget committee of the Verkhovna Rada Roksolana Pidlasa spoke about this, reports on Monday, November 17, Suspilne. " This is less than we expected and what we need, but the program with the IMF is the key to obtaining financing from other partners, including a reparation loan,” the deputy said. The head of the budget committee clarified that the IMF’s decision to launch the program is expected in January, and then the first payment should be made. She noted that during official negotiations on the new program, details of the Ukrainian budget 2026 were discussed with the head of the IMF mission, Gavin Gray, and his colleagues.

" As for structural beacons, the IMF is most interested in increasing state budget revenues, in particular by closing tax evasion schemes,” said Pidlasa.
