Ukraine is facing a threat of losing support of international financial institutions and not receiving another tranche from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) this year, NBU Governor Valeria Gontareva said at a meeting of the National Bank Council.
"Ukraine risks being left without the support of international financial institutions. Unfortunately, we see a very high risk that we will not receive the tranche from the IMF this year," she said.
Gontareva noted that the NBU has already changed three times its forecast growth in international reserves in 2016.
