IMF mission visit to answer questions about obstacles to fulfilling EFF program agreements — NBU governor
The International Monetary Fund mission’s visit to Ukraine is taking place to provide answers to questions about what is hindering effective interaction among all participants and stakeholders in the process of fulfilling agreements on the Ukrainian side under the new program with the Fund and how quickly such interaction can be restored, National Bank of Ukraine Governor Andriy Pyshnyy said.
"The visit began yesterday. I think it will last approximately until the middle of next week. These discussions with all participants in the process will allow us to provide an answer," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Thursday, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reports.
Pyshnyy added that it is also necessary to remember current plans for implementing the Ukraine Plan under the Ukraine Facility program with the European Union.
"Ultimately, we ourselves should be interested in deep structural reforms continuing," the NBU governor noted.
He recalled that according to a recent European Commission report on Ukraine’s implementation of the Association Agreement, the level of implementation reached 82%, which is a very good indicator.
"We have ambitious plans by the end of 2027 to maximally fulfill all necessary requirements to comply with European standards and rules. This requires focused, persistent work by the government, parliament, the National Bank, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission — all stakeholders," Pyshnyy emphasized.
