ODESA, Sept 21 – Ukrainian authorities could weaken reform effects after the successful placement of eurobonds this week, and he pause could last until the election in 2019, EBRD Managing Director for Eastern Europe and the Caucasus Francis Malige said.

He said at the Ukrainian Financial Forum organized by ICU Investment Group in Odesa on Thursday that the issue of eurobonds means that the position for authorities has become more convenient, and the pressure on reforms would weaken.
