LONDON, May 24 – Ukraine's good macroeconomic indicators in early 2011 mean the country can retain good positions on the loan market, despite the delay in its gaining financing under the Stand By Arrangement from the International Monetary Fund, according to Ihor Mitiukov, a former finance minister and a Morgan Stanley Ukraine director.

"Now GDP growth and the National Bank of Ukraine's gross reserves are more than expected, which gives a chance to the government to win some time," he told Interfax-Ukraine.
