All of the above will push up Ukraine's real GDP by 4.1% in 2024, and in 2025 economic growth will accelerate to 6.4%. International aid, coupled with cooperation with the IMF, will finance Ukraine's substantial budget deficit, and maintain international reserves at a sufficient level.
In 2022, Ukraine received over USD 32 billion in international assistance, of which over USD 14 billion was in the form of grants. This enabled the country to finance a larger portion of the consolidated budget deficit, and to increase international reserves, to USD 28.5 billion by the end of the year. Currently, reserves are sufficient to safeguard the stability of the FX market.
