Ukraine's draft national budget for 2018 envisages borrowing of around $2 billion on the foreign market, which meets the requirements of the cooperation program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ukrainian Finance Minister Oleksandr Danyliuk has said.

"We plan next year, and the IMF program contains this, [to raise] around $2 billion on the foreign market. $2 billion more in 2019," he told reporters in Kyiv on the sidelines of the 14th annual YES conference on Saturday.

"These are our benchmarks. Of course, the sums could differ," the minister said.
