KYIV, March 29 – The Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) of Ukraine, carried out by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as part of the third review of the EFF program, assumes partial debt write-off to achieve such sustainability, so it is likely that such write-off will be one of the items expected in the near future of Ukraine's proposal to restructure eurobonds, according to analysts interviewed by the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
“The IMF sees our public debt as sustainable with a debt/GDP ratio of 82% in 2028. At the same time, the IMF predicts that without restructuring, Ukraine’s public debt will grow to 91.2% of GDP in 2028, which means that to achieve sustainability, Ukraine needs reduce this debt by 9.2% of GDP, or approximately $21 billion,” said Oleksandr Paraschiy, head of the analytical department of Concorde Capital investment company.
