Ukraine is still slowly fulfilling the obligations that will allow it to receive a tranche of assistance from the World Bank under the Development Policy Operation (DPO-2 2026) support instrument. 12 obligations have been identified for this purpose.

In September, the IMF Mission begins work on the second review of the IMF Program. The structural benchmarks with a deadline of the end of June have been completed. The Mission will most likely also analyze the Draft State Budget for 2027. However, the implementation of the following benchmarks is delayed.

Some of the indicators of the Ukraine Plan were implemented in August with a delay; in particular, the appointment of judges of the High Anti-Corruption Court, a step that was originally scheduled for 2025.  Overall, the fulfillment of these “backlogged” indicators is expected to release approximately €2.8 billion. At the same time, 15 indicators for 2025 and the first half of 2026, worth €4.8 billion, remain unfulfilled.
