Dear Colleagues,
The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting is pleased to
invite you to our regular monthly "Diplomatic Briefing," where IER experts
share their insights on the current economic situation in Ukraine and
present the latest results of our business tendency survey.
The upcoming Diplomatic Briefing, focused on “Ukraine’s economic situation
and challenges in August 2025”, will take place online via Zoom on September
11, 2025, Thursday, from 16:00 to 17:00 Kyiv time (9:00-10:00 EST /
15:00-16:00 CEST).
In August, Ukraine finally received the long-awaited tranche from the EU
under the Ukraine Facility for the implementation of Q1’2025 indicators of
the Ukraine Plan (the delay was primarily due to Ukraine’s later submission
of the report to the European Commission). The Government decided to
postpone the report for Q2’2025 to allow more indicators to be fully
implemented before submission. In parallel, the Ukraine Plan was amended to
shift a number of deadlines for indicators further into the future. The
European Commission and the EU Council are still to approve this.
At the beginning of September, the IMF mission is visiting Kyiv, with
discussions on a potential new program likely on the agenda. Despite the
progress, the available financing for 2026 still falls short of Ukraine’s
projected needs.
Meanwhile, businesses continue to operate actively, which is reflected in
fiscal revenues in August. Nonetheless, significant challenges remain.
We will discuss the key economic parameters and business tendencies of
August in greater detail during the Diplomatic Briefing.
Speakers:
Oleksandra Betliy, macroeconomic, public finance, social and healthcare
expert, IER Leading Research Fellow;
Vitaliy Kravchuk, macroeconomic, monetary policy and financial market
expert, IER Leading Research Fellow;
Oksana Kuziakiv, IER Chief Executive, Head of the Center for Contemporary
Society studies.
✅ English is a working language of the meeting.
We sincerely hope that you can honor us with your presence.
