Ukraine expects to wrap up talks with the International Monetary Fund this week on the final details it must address to unlock a further batch of loans under its $17.5 billion bailout, the country’s finance minister said on Feb. 6.
Disbursements under the programme have seen repeated delays over the past two years due to stop-start progress on reforms. The latest tranche of $1 billion was held up by slow budget negotiations and concerns about the banking system.
