Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has asked the International Monetary Fund to send a working group to Ukraine from 31 August – 4 September, she said during today’s government meeting.
According to Tymoshenko, the budget process in Ukraine risks being politicized due to the upcoming presidential elections. “The elections are basically underway. That’s why I asked the IMF’s European department headed by Ceyla Pazarbaziolu to come to Ukraine from 31 August - 4 September to create a working group to help draft the 2010 state budget,” Tymoshenko said.
