KYIV, June 29 – The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the fourth review of the extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for Ukraine, enabling a disbursement of about $2.2 billion (SDR 1.66 billion) to Ukraine, which will be channeled for budget support.

"Ukraine's performance remains strong under the EFF despite challenging conditions. All quantitative performance criteria for end-March were met, and all structural benchmarks through end-June were implemented on time or with a short delay," the fund said.
