On June 24 in Gdańsk, Poland, at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026), Ukraine and the World Bank signed a $3.35 billion funding agreement. This package includes a $1 billion development policy loan, of which $500 million is guaranteed by the Government of the United Kingdom and $500 million by the Government of Japan, and a $2.35 billion grant from the F.O.R.T.I.S. Ukraine FIF Fund.
The funds will be directed to support macro-financial stability and priority expenditures in Ukraine’s state budget under wartime conditions. Securing these funds under the First Jobs and Private Sector Growth Policy Development Program was made possible by implementing comprehensive reforms that enhance Ukraine’s economic resilience and foster private sector development. To meet the program’s requirements, the Government and Parliament enacted 13 laws and 7 subordinate regulatory acts.
