Ukraine’s central bank plans to transfer up to USD 1 bln of its profits to the national budget, mirroring its actions from the previous year. According to a memorandum on the IMF website cited by Ukrainian media, the bank commits to allocating this revenue to the General Fund of the State Budget instead of earmarked spending in 2024. An initial transfer of up to 30 bln hryvna (USD 771.2 mln) is expected in March, followed by an additional 8 bln hryvna (USD 205.7 mln) by the end of June. The bank anticipates Ukraine will secure USD 10 bln or more in external financing within the specified timeframe, against a total budget financing requirement of USD 37.3 bln for 2024.
