Ukraine may receive $6 billion loan from IMF | Top Russian news and analysis online | ‘RIA Novosti’ newswire: “Ukraine may receive a $6 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2010, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister on Economic Issues Sergei Tigipko said.
The IMF approved the loan to Ukraine in November 2008. The fund has already provided three credit tranches worth $4.5 billion, $2.8 billion and $3.3 billion to the country as part of a program to stabilize the economy, which was seriously weakened by the economic crisis. The fourth tranche was due by the end of 2009 but was delayed due to political instability and the absence of a budget for 2010.”
