He announced this today during the 14th annual investment conference in Kiev, reports the Novoye Vremya publication.
“All of this is real. And this can be implemented quickly, if there is the will,” Ljungman noted.
He also added that the next tranche from the IMF will be about $1,9 billion.
However, according to the IMF representative, the current bill on the Anti-Corruption Court, which is in the Verkhovna Rada, does not meet all the requirements of the Fund, as well as the Venice Commission for the independence of the court and it needs to be strengthened in some respects
As PolitNavigator reported , Ukraine's debt to the IMF at the end of January 2018 was $12 billion.
