Coordinating closely with our G7 partners, the UK is contributing a £2.26bn loan to Ukraine through the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) scheme, generated from profits of immobilised Russian sovereign assets held across the UK’s jurisdiction.

It is important that any decision to publicise information relating to the ERA scheme is taken on a collective G7 basis.
