“It’s not a secret for anyone that while the program for which the IMF allocates money and gives the next tranche, in Ukraine is very badly executed. And, accordingly, every time there is a delay in the allocation of funds. Indeed, not so good in the Ukrainian economy. It is obvious that the expectations of international lenders are not met. They are dissatisfied with the fight against corruption, they are not satisfied with the pace of reforms. It is difficult to say where things are going well, ”said the expert.
Topornin also noted that "in Ukraine there is no growth and progress that we expect from the International Monetary Fund."
“The IMF gives money for development, not for eating away. That is, it allocates funds to ensure that certain programs are implemented and the economy of Ukraine is on its feet. And now she is dependent on the loans received. There is already talk that there will be a delay in receiving funds for several months, then a technical default may arise. The IMF will demand the fulfillment of its regulations and reforms, ”he concluded.
The expert noted that "the IMF will still provide Ukraine with a loan, possibly with a delay and in part."
Earlier, the permanent representative of the International Monetary Fund in Ukraine, Jost Lyungman, declared his dissatisfaction with the growth rate of the Ukrainian economy.
