Report: Huge budget deficit and freezing of projects.. Ukraine is facing the worst financial disaster since 2022

The World Bank noted that the shortage of manpower and high energy costs are exacerbating the situation regarding the growth of the Ukrainian economy.

In 2027, the organization (World Bank) expects Ukraine's GDP to grow by 1.5%, and in 2028 by 3%.

Ukraine is currently facing the worst crisis in its public budget since 2022, as the authorities were forced to freeze non-urgent spending, including reconstruction projects of damaged buildings and infrastructure.

This decision, according to Reuters, came to focus exclusively on military expenditures, salaries and pensions.

The Ukrainian Finance Minister estimated the need for external financing at about $146 billion for the period between 2026 and 2029. In the same context, the International Monetary Fund warned in late September that Ukraine would face a financing deficit of up to $54 billion by 2029, putting increasing pressure on Kiev to ensure the continued flow of international aid.
