KYIV, April 27 – The International Development Association (IDA) is expanding the support package for Ukraine and creating a separate fund – SPURR (Special Program for Ukraine's Recovery and Crisis Response), which will feature the ability to multiply the funds attracted to it, thanks to which Ukraine can potentially receive $6 billion in aid, Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko has said.
"In the near future, it (the fund) will be announced, its name is SPURR and the total size is $2 billion. This fund is multiplier: relatively speaking, triple multiplication is carried out, that is, if $2 billion is raised, then potentially Ukraine can receive $6 billion in aid," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
