According to the International Monetary Fund's forecasts, by 2025, Ukraine's public debt will exceed 100% of GDP.
Currently, based on the results of this year, the public debt and the debt guaranteed by the state amount to 95.6% of Ukraine's GDP.
However, starting next year, this figure will exceed 100% of GDP. In 2025, it will be 106.6% of GDP, in 2026 - 107.6% of GDP, and in 2027 - 102.6% of GDP.
"Although Ukraine's economy has shown resilience, challenges are growing due to the expected electricity deficit from the damage to generating capacities, labor market situation, and the ongoing war," the IMF stated.
The IMF noted that the risks for Ukraine are very high due to the war, the disruption of the energy sector, and the need for financial support from international partners.
