KYIV, April 5 – A delay with a new tranche by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Ukraine affects foreign direct investment (FDI) to the country, the co-owner and CEO of TIS port Andriy Stavnitser said.

"This is a bad sign for FDI. There is much money in the world. There is extra liquidity everywhere. I would like that part of the money came to Ukraine, but we as the country are doing everything so this does not happen," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine, answering the question how the factor of approaching elections and problems with the IMF financing influences investment projects.
