Staff from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will visit Ukraine in the coming weeks to assess progress in implementing economic reforms and broadening the country's tax base as part of an US$8.1 billion loan.

Details: Kozack told journalists that it is critically important for Ukraine to mobilise more domestic financing to cover its "very, very significant" financial needs in addition to the major external assistance it has been receiving from donors since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.

In her view, Ukrainian authorities must broaden the country's tax base and bring part of the grey economy, estimated at approximately 45% of gross domestic product, out of the shadows and into the formal sector.
