KIEV, July 20 – The Cabinet of Ministers listens to forecasts made by the International Monetary Fund and other financial institutions, but these forecasts sometimes differ from those made by Ukraine, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"Representatives of the IMF, the World Bank and other financial institutions monitoring the situation in Ukraine have the ability to rather accurately and realistically make forecasts about economic development in Ukraine. And the government attentively listens to them. Sometimes these forecasts coincide with ours. Sometimes they differ. But this does not mean that they are doing something intentionally, or with a certain purpose," he wrote on his page on Facebook, when asked whether international experts understate figures on Ukraine.
