"I hope that at the end of the month,
on August 29, the IMF Board of Governors will decide on the further allocation of funds to Ukraine", -
said Arseniy Yatsenyuk. According to him, it will afford the
National Bank of Ukraine to maintain currency stability. Arseniy Yatsenyuk
said that the Government is doing everything in power to stabilize the
situation in Ukraine. He stressed that under the current
conditions, in which our country is forced to live, it
is rather hard to attract investors. "We have never faced similar
conditions throughout the entire history of Ukraine", - said the Prime

additional resources from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank,
"in order to preserve the fragile stability”. The Prime Minister informed

allocation of funds from the International Monetary Fund. |
