On Saturday, the IMF welcomed the Rada’s initial passage of the banking law and encouraged the parliament to pass a revised budget, taking into account “the tremendous challenges caused by Covid-19.” IMF envoy Goesta Ljungman also urged the Rada to work with the World Bank to create a larger farm land market than the approved one, which caps sales at 100 hectares.
