The National Bank of Ukraine expects a positive decision from the International Monetary Fund regarding the next tranche by the end of the year.

NBU Chairman Yakiv Smoliy said this at a briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"I will have a meeting with the IMF. We expect that the negotiations will be successful and that we will reach a consensus on obtaining the next tranche by the end of the year," Smoliy said.
