Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Christine Lagarde and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko are to discuss Ukraine's progress in the implementation of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program in Davos, IMF Director of the Communications Department Gerry Rice has said.

"Yes, they plan to meet, Madam Lagarde and President Poroshenko, plan to meet in Davos. What would they discuss? Again, I am going to leave it to them, we will have some communication coming out of that. But I think they will discuss the recent developments and prospects for reforms in Ukraine, and particularly those that would help pave the way for the completion of the [EFF] program review," he said at a briefing in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, January 18.
