Tymoshenko: Furthering of cooperation with the IMF is crucial for Ukraine

The Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko declares that furthering of cooperation with the International Monetary Fund appears crucial. The Head of Government informed during the Sixth Yalta annual meeting “Vision of the future of Ukraine: discussion with the Prime Minister of Ukraine”.

 “As Prime Minister I can affirm that I will do my best to make such cooperation effective, productive till the end of the crisis and to prolong it further,” Yulia Tymoshenko stressed.

The Prime Minister emphasized that cooperation with the IMF is one of the most effective anti-crisis programs of the Government of Ukraine: “Unless we had had such cooperation between the Government and the IMF, in fact it means elaboration of those top-priority effective bail-out measures jointly with the world experts, unless we had had timely earmarked resources, unless we had possessed support of the European Union and other countries – IMF founders, I can tell you that consequences of the crunch would be hard to predict”. 

Yulia Tymoshenko thanked to all the countries that had put resources into the IMF, to the International Monetary Fund mission in Ukraine, IMF Board of Directors and the whole IMF team who could render an effective, qualitative and valuable support to Ukraine at this hard crisis time.
