KIEV, June 18 - President Viktor Yushchenko has demanded that the cabinet and the National Bank of Ukraine conduct a coordinated macroeconomic policy.

"The government and the NBU should jointly discuss a new macroeconomic forecast and come to common assessments of 'sensitive' figures, such as inflation, and the balance of foreign trade and the current account," the president said at a meeting on macro-economic stability held in Kiev on Tuesday.
