KYIV, May 23 – Ukraine has a 50% chance of getting a deal with the International Monetary Fund over further lending and that is holding many investors back, Concorde Capital chief Ihor Mazepa said.

"Investors are interested in the issue of debt payments, reforms and corruption, something that is familiar to everybody. I get absolutely different comments from them on these issues. The only thing they all share is that the position of the IMF will strongly influence on their attitude to Ukraine... We need to see the decision of the Fund, which can be made before the end of the summer, or the absence of the decision ... Until the middle of summer it will become obvious," he told Interfax-Ukraine.
