Ukraine The Programmatic Adjustment Loan (PAL) worth $750 million is the basic instrument of the World Bank's Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) for Ukraine in 2001-2003, which was authorized in September 2000.

Out of the entire amount of an approved loan worth $1.92 billion, Kyiv received $1.19 billion. Ukraine expects that a new program could be implemented within three to five years, and its size could vary from $600 million to $800 million.
