MOSCOW, October 12. /TASS/. In 2026, Ukraine will repay $4.86 billion in a total debt to its foreign creditors, calculations by TASS based on data from Ukraine’s Finance Ministry showed.
Principal debt repayments will amount to €490 million ($550 million), $600 million and 1.26 billion in IMF Special Drawing Rights (XDR) ($1.7 billion, bringing the total to $2.41 billion. Interest payments will include €220 million ($246.6 million), $970 million, 40 million sterling pounds ($52.90 million), and 0.56 billion XDR ($756 million), or a total of $2.45 billion.
As of August 31, the country’s state and state-guaranteed debt stood at 9.603 trillion hryvnias, or $215.55 billion. According to calculations by TASS, every Ukrainian citizen owes his country $8,622, given the nation has a population of 25 million and a public debt of $215.55 billion. If calculations are based on a population of 22 million, the national debt amounts to nearly $9,800 per person. While there are no accurate population numbers for Ukraine, the country’s Social Policy Minister Denis Ulyutin earlier mentioned population figures of between 22 million and 25 million.
