Midday press briefing from 16/04/2026

Show transcript

Public broadcaster of Ukraine, Commissioner Dombrovskis is in the US now,

and some media reports suggest that he will urge partners to speed up the payments to Ukraine under the euro loans.

Can you please confirm that, and also, is it correct that these payments are delayed now,

and how much money do we have left in these funds? Thanks. Indeed you raise a very important point.

So under the euro loan, or what we call colloquially the G7 loan, we are talking about an overall capacity of €45 billion of which,

according to the latest information I have,

38 million have been disbursed to Ukraine by the G7 partners, just over €38 billion.

Part of this is our commitment, our contribution, $18 billion that was entirely dispersed, so we've done our part,

and of course it is important for us to ensure that Ukraine gets the remaining amount of funds as soon as possible and of course we are encouraging all G7 partners to follow suit.

Other questions to Balazs. No, that was it for today, Balazs.
