IMF啟動烏克蘭貸款審查，可能釋出16.7億美元

基輔，11月9日（路透社）— 國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）週一開始審查烏克蘭的貸款計畫，可能為基輔釋出16.7億美元的新融資；烏克蘭正努力支撐遭戰爭重創的經濟，並填補即將浮現的資金缺口。KYIV, Nov 9 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund began a review of Ukraine's lending programme on Monday that could unlock $1.67 billion in fresh financing for Kyiv as it struggles to shore up its war-hit economy and plug a looming funding gap.

烏克蘭與其主要國際貸款方IMF的合作，對確保其他夥伴提供資金並協助維持經濟穩定至關重要；與俄羅斯的衝突仍持續延燒，基輔也面臨明年數十億美元的融資缺口。Cooperation with the IMF, Ukraine's key international lender, is critical to ensure funding from other partners and help maintain economic stability as the conflict with Russia grinds on and Kyiv faces a multi-billion financing shortfall for next year.

IMF駐烏克蘭代表普莉希拉・托法諾（Priscilla Toffano）在聲明中表示：「討論將涵蓋總體經濟與財政政策，以及關鍵結構性改革。」"Discussions will cover macroeconomic and fiscal policies, as well as key structural reforms,” Priscilla Toffano, IMF's resident representative in Ukraine, said in a statement.

這次審查合併烏克蘭四年期IMF計畫的第二次與第三次評估，可能為撥付約16.7億美元掃清道路。The review combines the second and third assessments of Ukraine's four-year IMF programme, potentially clearing the way for the disbursement of about $1.67 billion.

總理瑟吉・科雷茨基（Sergii Koretskyi）表示，會議也將討論2027年的預算與國際金融援助。Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi said the meetings would also cover the budget and international financial aid for 2027.

烏克蘭經濟遭逾四年戰爭重創，如今因俄羅斯加強空襲企業、能源基礎設施和創造收入的產業，正處於最艱困的時期之一。Ukraine's economy, battered by more than four years of war, is now in one of its most challenging periods due to intensified Russian air bombardments on businesses, energy infrastructure and revenue-generating sectors.

烏克蘭經濟今年陷入萎縮，第三季國內生產毛額（GDP）年減0.7%。央行預期，2026年GDP將下滑0.4%。通膨正在升溫，預料今年將達12.5%。The economy slipped into contraction this year, with the gross domestic product down by 0.7% year-on-year in the third quarter. The central bank expects GDP to slip by 0.4% in 2026. Inflation is on the rise, and expected to reach 12.5% this year.

由於經由黑海港口的出口受阻，主要出口產業——農業綜合企業與鋼鐵業——也遭重創，預算收入同樣低於計畫。As exports via the Black Sea ports are blocked and main exporting sectors — agribusiness and the steel industry — are crippled, the budget revenues are also falling below the plan.

烏克蘭官員表示，該國明年面臨約700億美元的龐大資金缺口。The country faces a massive funding gap of about $70 billion next year, Ukrainian officials have said.

央行表示，IMF團隊與烏克蘭官員將在利維夫和華沙舉行會議，部分專家將線上參與會談。The central bank said that the IMF's team and Ukrainian officials would hold meetings in Lviv and Warsaw with some experts joining the talks online.
