Ukraine’s state budget has received $3.35 billion under the First Ukraine Jobs and Private Sector Growth Development Policy Operation, a joint program with the World Bank.
Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko shared the news on Telegram, as reported by UATV English.
Svyrydenko explained that the payment follows agreements Ukraine and the World Bank signed on June 24, during the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026). The money is intended to help maintain macroeconomic stability and cover priority government spending under martial law conditions.
She noted that fulfilling the program’s conditions required Ukraine’s government and parliament to pass 13 laws along with seven implementing regulations. These reforms touched on multiple sectors — strengthening public procurement, building out factoring services, linking Ukraine’s energy markets with the EU, overhauling agriculture, backing veteran-owned businesses, updating housing policy, modernizing early childhood and vocational education, and reviving the system for tracking greenhouse gas emissions.
Looking ahead, the Prime Minister said the program’s next phase could bring in another $1 billion before the end of 2026, contingent on Ukraine meeting further agreed-upon conditions. Some of this funding carries guarantees from the UK and Japanese governments.
Separately, it was reported that the European Flagship Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine launched during the same Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, Poland — a fund capable of mobilizing as much as €7 billion for Ukraine’s economy.
