The International Monetary Fund Executive Board announced that it has approved a new 48-month extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) of SDR 11.6 billion (about US$15.6 billion) as part of a US$115 billion total support package for Ukraine.

The IFM's decision allows the immediate disbursement of around SDR 2 billion (or US$2.7 billion).

The approval of the EFF is expected to mobilize large-scale concessional financing from Ukraine’s international donors and partners, to help resolve Ukraine’s balance of payments problem.
