Ukraine risks losing IMF support over stalled reforms, - Lagarde

Ukraine must enact promised reforms and root out corruption or risk losing the support of the International Monetary Fund.

This was announced by the Fund's head, Christine Lagarde, in a statement on Wednesday, Censor.NET reports citing Reuters.

"I am concerned about Ukraine's slow progress in improving governance and fighting corruption, and reducing the influence of vested interests in policymaking," she said.

"Without a substantial new effort to invigorate governance reforms and fight corruption, it is hard to see how the IMF-supported program can continue and be successful."
