The IMF staff team visiting Ukraine last week “made very good progress in discussions on legislation to support growth and ensure stability,” Goesta Ljungman, the lender’s resident representative in Ukraine, said Saturday. Full approval of last December’s staff-level agreement for a 3-year, $5.5 loan program are delayed by two bills: creating a private farm land market and restricting the return of nationalized banks to former owners. The Rada is working through 4,000 amendments to the farm land bill, a process expected to last all month.
