(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The decision of the International Monetary Fund to allocate for Ukraine another tranche under the Extended Fund Facility is a recognition of the stability of the country's Economy and an important signal to partners.
This was emphasized by the Governor of the National bank of Ukraine, Andrii Pyshnyi , who commented on the IMF's move on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.
"The IMF notes the stability of the country's economy and emphasizes that maintaining timely and predictable external support is important for maintaining macro-financial stability. This sends an important signal to our partners," Pyshnyi wrote.
