KYIV, Nov 13 – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff and the Ukrainian authorities have reached a staff level agreement (SLA) on an updated list of economic and financial policies for the second review of the four-year Extended Fund Facility, the fund said in a statement on Saturday night.

"All quantitative performance criteria for end-June and indicative targets for end-September were met. The majority of structural benchmarks were also met, paving the way for the Executive Board’s consideration, which would enable disbursement of about $900 million (SDR 663.9 million)," the report says.
