5. IMF monitoring summary:

The first review discussions took place in a context of heightened geopolitical tensions and deepening
economic crisis. Intensification of the conflict in the East and escalation of the gas dispute with Gazprom, two
of the key risks identified at the time of the program request, have materialized. These developments have
affected confidence, balance of payment flows, economic activity, and budget execution. The banking sector
has had to cope with larger-than-anticipated deposit outflows, and the exchange rate has depreciated more
than expected at the time of the program request. The authorities have implemented policies broadly as
agreed, but significant pressures have emerged. All but one performance criteria for end-May were met and all
structural benchmarks have been implemented, albeit some with a delay. However, the deterioration in the
economic outlook, fiscal and quasi-fiscal pressures, and heightened balance of payment difficulties are putting
the initial program targets in jeopardy. Two end-July PCs are estimated to have been missed; and the end-2014
targets are out of reach. All continuous PCs were met. Discussions focused on the appropriate policy response
to these short-term pressures and on reforms to support sustained growth. There was agreement that the
policy effort should focus on compensatory measures to meet key program objectives, while allowing some
temporary deviations from the initial targets. In particular, the NBU will limit the decline in reserves through
market purchases; the government will take additional fiscal measures to keep public finances sustainable; and
Naftogaz will strengthen current and past gas bills collection. Discussions also focused on reforms aimed at
modernizing the monetary policy framework, preserving financial stability, addressing governance issues and
improving the business climate. Nonetheless, risks loom large. The program hinges crucially on the assumption
that the conflict will begin to subside in the coming months. Should active fighting continue well beyond that,
the small buffers under the revised baseline would be quickly exhausted, requiring a new strategy, including
additional external financing. A further heightening of geopolitical tensions could also have significant
economic consequences. Domestically, policymaking may become more difficult in case of early elections.
Strong policy performance and adherence to the planned reforms is therefore critical. Staff supports the
authorities’ request for completion of the first review and the waivers for nonobservance and applicability of
performance criteria. The purchase released upon completion of the review would be in the amount of SDR
0.914 billion, of which SDR 0.650 billion will be used to finance the budget deficit.
