An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission is to arrive in Ukraine in January 2015 to discuss the amount of the next tranche to be released under the Stand-By Arrangement (SBA), Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko said.

“All are waiting to see our political will, I mean, the will of the government and parliament, in particular, that we’re taking such hard and touch decisions. I hope that if we pass this budget, the IMF will arrive in January to discuss these very issues (the amount of the next tranche),” she said at a briefing on Dec. 26.
