The European Commission’s Flexibility Secures Tranche as Ukraine’s Reform ‘Debt’ Mounts

Ukraine has resumed progress in fulfilling its commitments to international partners. However, the pace remains unsatisfactory, despite the European Commission’s flexibility in deciding to disburse a tranche of 2.75 billion euros.

This was stated by experts from the RRR4U consortium during an April presentation of the Monitoring of the Implementation of IMF Program Conditions and EU Assistance under the Ukraine Facility.

“Under the IMF program, progress in April was minimal. On the positive side, the government appointed a head of the State Customs Service – a step that was supposed to have been taken by March, and originally even by June 2025. Another structural milestone has effectively been achieved thanks to the completion of the state’s divestment from non-systemic banks,” said Maksym Samoiliuk, an economist at the Centre for Economic Strategy
