Yatseniuk links adoption of government-proposed laws to receipt of foreign borrowing from IMF, World Bank
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said that Ukraine may not get the next tranche of the IMF and World Bank loan if the Verkhovna Rada does not adopt the bills proposed by the government on Thursday.
"If we adopt these bills, we will have money to finance the Armed Forces, rebuild Donetsk and Luhansk and help the whole of Ukraine in general. And we will get $1.5 billion from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. If we don't adopt them, we will not get it," he told a press conference in Kyiv on Monday.
The bills in question amend the Ukrainian state budget, tax legislation, and some laws on the reform of the management of Ukraine's unified gas transportation system.
