KYIV, Sept 4 - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission for the fifth review of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and representatives of Ukraine at the negotiations in Kyiv that began on Monday will focus in particular on the possibilities of accumulating domestic resources to cover the needs of the state budget, which have grown given the duration and intensity of the war, said Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Andriy Pyshnyy.

"The task is really difficult. We see that work on the domestic debt market will play a significant role in its solution," he wrote on Facebook following the inaugural meeting with the IMF mission and the teams of the NBU and the Ministry of Finance.
