The International Monetary Fund (IMF) started the sixth review of its loan arrangement, or so-called Extended Fund Facility (EFF), with Ukraine, the country's finance ministry said in a press release on Monday.
For the review, Ukraine should meet four structural benchmarks: review pre-war policies and practices for medium-term budget planning, evaluate financial risks to stability and create action plans for different scenarios, analyze the debts and financial status of District Heating Companies, and develop a state ownership policy for SOEs, a dividend policy, and a privatization strategy, the ministry said.
