Within two months, Ukraine hopes to win the second tranche of EU €500 million macro-financial aid, Finance Minister Oksana Markarova told reporters at Dragon. At the same time, she is negotiating a new loan guarantee with the World Bank and new low interest loans with G7 countries. In December, the World Bank extended a $750 million guarantee, enough for the government to borrow $1 billion at low rates. “Our priority is concessional lending,” Markarova said. She aims to use low-interest loans to help Ukraine lower its indebtedness to 50% of GDP by 2021.
