An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Ron van Rooden, visited Kyiv during May 21-29, to discuss recent developments and economic policies. At the conclusion of the visit, Mr. van Rooden made the following statement:
“The IMF staff team has had very productive discussions with the Ukrainian authorities, including with President Zelenskyi, on the review of Ukraine’s Stand-By Arrangement with the IMF. The team has found that fiscal and monetary policies remain on track, and it stands ready to return to Kyiv to continue discussions after the forthcoming parliamentary elections as soon as a new government has clarified its policy intentions.”
