KIEV, Dec. 23 – The meeting of the Board of the International Monetary Fund which will consider granting Ukraine the next tranche under the EFF program may be held in late January, Finance Minister Oleksandr Danyliuk said.

“Indeed, after the adoption of the budget we got closer to receiving the next tranche. The Cabinet of Ministers still needs to take certain decisions, which we will do. I hope that we will be ready for the meeting of the IMF board somewhere in the end of January... we are now discussing with the IMF changes into the memorandum. After we finish this process, it will be clear what we will do to comply with the conditions for getting the next tranche," he said.
