International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief in Ukraine Ceyla Pazarbasioglu has said that there is no doubt that Ukraine will get the second tranche of the fund's USD 16.4 billion loan, Ukrainian Vice Premier Hryhoriy Nemyria said after a phone conversation with the IMF mission chief, according to Ukrinform.

He said that yesterday's reports in the media that the IMF could stop crediting Ukraine are untrue. Nemyria phoned Pazarbasioglu in the presence of journalists and she told him that the IMF Executive Board would consider the allocation of the next tranche to Ukraine at a meeting on May 13.
