The IMF sees restoring the anti-corruption agencies as key to compliance with $5 billion Stand-By Arrangement signed last June, an IMF spokesman tells Ukrinform. “The launch of a comprehensive electronic system for asset and income disclosure by high-level officials in 2016 was, and remains, a critical step forward in anti-corruption efforts and should not be dismantled…Maintaining and enhancing the effectiveness of all of Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutions is key to unlocking stronger and more equitable growth and is therefore an essential commitment under the IMF-supported program.”
