"According to our forecasts, this year the Finance Ministry will place eurobonds worth $2 billion," he told journalists on January 31.
Sologub also says that the second tranche of the European Union's macro-financial assistance is expected this year along with the remaining sum of the World Bank's financial guarantee available to the Ukrainian government.
As UNIAN reported earlier, in December 2018, the World Bank decided to provide a $750 million financial guarantee to Ukraine. Against this guarantee, Ukraine was able to raise EUR 349.3 million, which was channeled into the national budget in December 2018.
In late October 2018, Ukraine issued two series of eurobonds totaling $2 billion. The yield of five-year bonds worth $750 million was 8.994% per annum, while that of ten-year bonds worth $1.250 billion was 9.750% per annum.
