Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that Ukraine is ready
to continue cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as an
indicator of confidence in carrying out internal reforms.
"We had a constructive and open meeting with International
Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde where we have
discussed all outstanding issues of IMF-Ukraine cooperation," Poroshenko
wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday, January 24, after talks with
Lagarde in Davos.
"Ukraine confirms its readiness to continue fruitful
cooperation with the International Monetary Fund as an important factor
in strengthening macroeconomic stability and an indicator of confidence
in proper implementation of internal reforms," Poroshenko added.
Later, the presidential press service reported that the head
of state thanked Ukraine's partners from the IMF "for a very strong
message of support for Ukraine."
"It is very important for us to continue cooperation with IMF
now, in 2018, as it is not only trust of international financial
organizations related to macro-financial assistance from the EU,
cooperation with the World Bank, but also trust of investors," he said.
Poroshenko also thanked Lagarde for very effective cooperation over the past year.
"I am very pleased with the last six months, when we
introduced many reforms. Today, we agreed to continue effective
cooperation in various spheres and fulfill everything we agreed on today
and in the past. I am grateful for very strong and effective
cooperation," the president said.
