As oil prices surge past $100 a barrel and the Middle East war chokes the Strait of Hormuz, the world's top economists and central bankers gathered in Washington,D.C. for the 2026 IMF Spring Meetings.
Kyiv Post was on the ground — speaking with IMF's Alfred Kammer, EBRD's Matteo Patrone, and PrivatBank CEO Mikael Björknert.
Hungary's opposition victory finally cleared €90 billion ($97.5 billion) in blocked EU aid. Kyiv's parliament passed tax reforms that had stalled the IMF program for months. And Ukraine's central bank earned praise from IMF officials for keeping inflation under control through three years of full-scale war. But Ukraine's budget gap stays at $52 billion — before anyone talks about 2027.
