There is no issue concerning a new review on Ukraine under the Extended Fund Facility on the agenda of meetings of the International Monetary Fund’s Executive Board, Director of the IMF Communications Department Gerry Rice has said.
“At that date I don’t have any specific that I can give to you. The discussions are ongoing with the Ukrainian authorities. But I don’t have specific touch point for you,” he said at a regular press briefing in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, June 22, when answering a question when the Ukraine issue could be incorporated in the IMF’s agenda.
Ukraine’s Alternate Executive Director in the International Monetary Fund Vladyslav Rashkovan wrote on Facebook earlier that day that the draft agenda of the IMF board meetings is often sent by the Secretariat to the Executive Directors two or three months prior to the meetings.
“This means that today, in June, we exactly know which subjects will be discussed early in autumn, right after the summer holiday,” he said.
As was reported earlier, an IMF mission, who worked in Kyiv in May, pointed to the need of technical finalization of corresponding bills and parliamentary support of pension and land reforms, as well as facilitation of privatization and anti-corruption efforts.
