The ministry recalled that on November 22, 2022, Ukraine received the second tranche of EUR 2.5 billion as part of the eighth EU macro-financial assistance program. The total planned amount of financing under the program is EUR 5 billion.

“We are sincerely grateful to the European Union for the financial support provided to Ukraine. The received funds will largely help to ensure urgent expenses of the state budget and support economic stability in the state,” said Ukraine’s Minister of Finance Serhiy Marchenko.

The total amount of EU macro-financial assistance provided to Ukraine, starting from February 24, has reached EUR 6.7 billion.
