There won't be IMF tranche without acceleration of reforms
There won't be next tranche from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) if Ukraine does not speed up the reforms, Ukrainian Minister of Finance Natalie Jaresko said, commenting on the statement by IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde.
"I see that this [statement made by Christine Lagarde] emphasizes that tranches are not issued without reforms. Acceleration rather than slowdown of reforms is needed," the minister said at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on economic policy in Kyiv.
Jaresko noted that thanks to the deputies the IMF has no questions to the parliament as for the budget for 2016.
"But now there is a question to all of us how we'll continue to act amidst the political crisis and agree on changes in the government and how to speed up these reforms," she said.
