Finance Minister of Ukraine Oleksandr Danyliuk has left for the United States on a two-day visit, where he will hold talks with representatives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

"The minister is in the United States to finalize negotiations with the IMF and discuss the further implementation of the reform program," the ministry's press service told Interfax-Ukraine.

As reported, on Saturday, March 4, the IMF mission reported on the agreement of the updated memorandum on economic and financial policy of Ukraine, which allows Kyiv to obtain the fourth tranche of $1 billion within the loan under the EFF program. The IMF Executive Board is expected to consider this issue in the second half of March.
