A meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) board of directors to discuss the issue of new credit for Ukraine has been scheduled for March 11, Ukraine's Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko has said.

"On March 11, the IMF board of directors may take a positive decision to grant a new credit for Ukraine as a part of an extended financing mechanism. We can receive the first tranche in a couple of days after the IMF takes a respective decision," Jaresko said in Kyiv on Wednesday.

She said that a preliminary condition of the meeting made by the IMF was Ukraine's adoption of a package of laws, and that the government now is engaged in actively consulting the parliamentary factions on the prompt adoption of this package.
