Ukraine not to receive IMF tranche this year if MPs not approve budget in early December – NBU

"Formally, we leave our forecast for the tranche from the IMF in the amount of 1.3 billion US dollars [till the end of the year], but we understand that the possibility of obtaining this tranche depends on the Parliament, which has to adopt the budget in early December," he said. As we have reported, media earlier said referring to sources in banking circles that the National Bank does not expect to receive another tranche of the IMF loan under the Extended Fund Facility programme this year.
