On May 7, Jerry Rice, a representative of the Fund, said in a briefing that Ukraine and the IMF, as part of negotiations on a new cooperation program, were reoriented from the previously agreed three-year extended EFF financing program to the 18 month stand by program. Vladislav Rashkovan, deputy executive director of Ukraine at the International Monetary Fund, noted that the volume of the three-year EFF program, which was discussed earlier, should have been at the $ 8 billion level. Of these, Ukraine could receive $ 5 billion by the end of 2021, the remaining $ 3 billion in 2022 -2023 years. As part of the new stand-by program, discussions are ongoing to receive the same $ 5 billion over the next 18 months, Rashkovan explained. He emphasized that obtaining money under the stand-by program is easier, as this Fund tool is not aimed at structural reforms. Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance reported that the government plans to end negotiations with the IMF next week. In the Fund, Ivanna Vladkova Gollar is now responsible for the negotiations with Kiev: on May 1, she became the head of the IMF mission in Ukraine instead of Ron van Roden.
