On Tuesday, 1 of September, an IMF mission held a meeting with representatives of the Ukrainian authorities in Kyiv. The main topic was that the next tranche is at risk.
Why Ukraine has problems with the next IMF tranche
The point is that Ukraine has insufficient progress in adopting the proposed bills, as reported by Roksolana Podlasa, head of the Verkhovna Rada budget committee.
Specifically, for receiving this tranche you need to:
sign the already approved bill on taxation of digital platforms №15111-d, but the obstacle is an amendment regarding PEPPs, which jeopardizes funding from the European Union;
pass the accompanying bill to the taxation of parcels 15112-d;
pass changes to the law on the independence of the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Communal Services and improve appointment procedures;
appoint new members to the Accounting Chamber (this is the next separate step after creating the competition commission, which the Verkhovna Rada did not support).

In addition, the government must submit three bills to parliament (their passage this year is not required). The rest of the structural milestones are decisions of the Cabinet or separate bodies. Delays here should not occur at all.
Podlasa emphasized: when it comes to the next IMF tranche, it is not only about 1,66 billion dollars of budget financing. She reminded that fulfilling the cooperation program with the International Monetary Fund remains a condition for receiving aid from the European Union.
The IMF mission in Ukraine is currently led by its head, Gavin Gray. According to information, special attention is given to the project of Ukraine's state budget for 2027 year.
