Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Yakiv Smolii says the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's Parliament, is expected to pass the law on the anti-corruption court as early as June 2018.

"We expect that the law on the anti-corruption court will be adopted in June. Following that, the (IMF) mission is expected to arrive [in Kyiv] and revision of the program [with IMF] will begin," he told journalists on May 31.

"As soon as Ukraine fulfills its obligations, the mission will arrive and we will be waiting for the meeting of the [IMF] Executive Board," he added.

Smolii says he plans a summer vacation in late July or early August. However, he is ready to reschedule it if there is a need to sign an updated memorandum with the IMF.
