KYIV, Feb 2 - Ukraine expects to receive $2.2 billion spread across three tranches from the International Monetary Fund in 2021, Central Bank Governor Kyrylo Shevchenko told Reuters in an interview on Monday.

His comments are the first time a senior Ukrainian official divulged Kyiv’s expectations since IMF loan talks restarted in December after the program was derailed last year due to concerns over the pace of reforms.
