The mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has arrived in Kyiv and started working in Ukraine, the press service of the Ukrainian Finance Ministry reports.

“On September 6, 2018, the IMF mission led by Ron Van Rooden started working in Ukraine,” reads the report.

It is noted that the Finance Ministry intends to discuss with the IMF mission the continuation of cooperation after the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program expires in March 2019.

As reported, the IMF mission will work in Ukraine until September 19.

Ukraine expects to receive another tranche worth $2 billion from the Fund. At the same time, the IMF has put forward several conditions for Ukraine to provide these funds, among which is the increase in gas prices for the population.
