The negotiations between Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding the continuation of cooperation are proceeding apace, First Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Kateryna Rozhkova has said.

"The negotiations are taking place in the manner in which they should proceed," she said at a briefing in Kyiv on Thursday.

Rozhkova said that the issues raised in the framework of the memorandum of cooperation concern many areas of activities, therefore this process is very laborious.

At the same time, she added, "We, as the NBU, believe that we will reach an agreement as soon as possible."

As reported, the IMF mission headed by Ron van Rooden worked in Kyiv on September 6-19. After the completion of the mission the IMF said that the IMF continues constructive discussions with Ukrainian authorities on the policy and reforms that support macroeconomic stability and growth in Ukraine and on possible financial assistance from the Fund.
