The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission started policy discussions in Kyiv on Monday as Ukraine seeks approval for a new Extended Fund Facility program.
The fund’s representative have already met with Ukraine’s lawmakers, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and Ukraine’s central bank, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) top management.
