First meeting of financial ‘Ramstein’ takes place: details

This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

He outlined key tasks for international partners:

• Ensuring predictable, rhythmic budget support in 2023.

"We have €18 billion from the EU and almost $10 billion from the United States. We expect to finance the difference in the deficit with the help of the IMF," Shmyhal said.

• Plan and ensure the start of Ukraine's recovery.

"For this purpose, the government has identified four priorities: restoration of the energy sector, humanitarian demining, reconstruction of housing, critical and social infrastructure," the prime minister emphasized.

• Coordination of financial instruments to support the economy and the private sector (war risk insurance, public-private partnerships, assistance in financing small business support projects).

As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the creation of a financial ‘Ramstein’ on October 12, 2022.
