The IMF mission is to issue a statement today capping their two weeks of talks in Kyiv. Led by led by Ron van Rooden, the team stayed longer than planned. Today, it flies back to Washington apparently without a staff level agreement on a new Extended Fund Facility. Without this agreement, talks continue at the Oct 14-20 Annual General Meeting of the IMF in Washington. Ukraine seeks to win a 3-year, $5 billion deal. More than the money, an IMF deal is a seal of approval for foreign investors.
