As UNIAN reported earlier, on March 11, as it was expected in the Ukrainian government, the IMF agreed a medium-term program of financial assistance for Ukraine, designed for four years, under the Enhanced Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and worth a total of $17.5 billion.
The first tranche, which will be provided to Ukraine, will total $5 billion, $2.7 billion of which Ukraine will spend to support the country's budget.
It is expected that the IMF funds will help to strengthen the hryvnia exchange rate.
