the Government, in April 2016, resumed negotiations with the IMF, but the next tranche of 1 billion $ was received only in September, and the fourth in April 2017.

 

According to the approved by the Board of Directors schedule hits, until the end of 2017, the program should check three times: in may, August and November. Subject to the fulfilment by the government of Ukraine of the requirements of the Fund for the fourth review may be granted funding in the amount of 1,907 billion $, and then twice more at 1.28 billion $. In General, this will amount to 4.46 billion dollars.

 

the Minister of Finance of Ukraine Viktor Danilyuk reported that the fall of the IMF will decide the fate of the next tranche under the EFF.
