The International Monetary Fund (IMF) will release $1.3 billion in emergency financing for Ukraine through its new aid instrument to deal with food shocks, the institution announced in a press release on Friday.
This new envelope aims to "support Ukraine in the face of its urgent needs in terms of balance of payments" but also to "play a catalytic role for future financial support from donors and creditors of Ukraine", explained the IMF.
The Fund also underlined "the praise deserved to the authorities for having been able to maintain the country's macroeconomic stability in these extremely difficult circumstances".
At the end of September, the World Bank had also granted $530 million in additional support to "address the urgent needs caused by the Russian invasion", bringing the total aid granted by the institution to $13 billion since the start of the conflict.
