"... an IMF staff team will visit Kyiv next week to join the Resident Representative office in technical meetings on the budget," said IMF Resident Representative in Ukraine Max Allier after a meeting with Vice Prime Minister for Economy Serhii Tihipko on March 12.
As to Allier, Tihipko voiced the wish to resume political discussions with the IMF Mission.
"I indicated that the Fund stands ready to support Ukraine in its endeavor to return to a sustainable growth path," he said.
Allier assured, he would relay the request for a mission to the IMF headquarters and consult on next steps.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, President Viktor Yanukovych ordered Foreign Affairs Minister Kostiantyn Hryschenko jointly with Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and the National Bank of Ukraine to take measures for ensuring Ukraine's cooperation with the International Monetary Fund and with the World Bank.
Tihipko thinks that for Ukraine resumption of cooperation with the IMF is of higher priority than drawing bilateral loans from various states.
The IMF pronounced readiness for continuing cooperation with Ukraine.
