The National Bank of Ukraine does not rule out that the International Monetary Fund may allocate the next tranche worth USD 1 billion to Ukraine in late March.
Deputy Head of the National Bank of Ukraine Oleh Churii has said this in a statement.
According to him, on March 20, the monetary committee of the NBU had extraordinary revision of its macroeconomic outlooks following the decision of the IMF to suspend the Ukrainian issue.
The central bank has already provided its calculations to the IMF.
The NBU said that agreement of the revised outlooks will be possible within two days.
Ukraine hopes that the next revision of the EFF (Extended Fund Facility) program of the International Monetary Fund and allocation of the next fifth tranche worth USD 1.9 billion will take place in May 2017.
Ukrainian News agency learnt this from well-informed sources in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the National Bank of Ukraine.
According to preliminary plans, the whole tranche will be channeled for replenishment of the NBU international reserves.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the executive board of the International Monetary Fund postponed consideration of the issue of disbursement of a loan tranche of USD 1 billion to Ukraine, which was planned for March 20.
