"We still have this way to go with Ukraine to complete this review," he added.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the IMF in March 2015 approved a four-year Extended Fund Facility (EFF) loan program for Ukraine under which $17.5 billion will be disbursed. Ukraine has already received four disbursements from the Fund to the tune of $8.7 billion.

The IMF says that to complete the fourth review of the cooperation under the program to receive a fifth disbursement, Ukraine must approve the pension reform, accelerate privatization and show real results in the fight against corruption.
