To further put to bed Igor Kolomoisky’s calls for a debt default, IMF and Finance Ministry officials held a joint conference call Wednesday with foreign investors. “IMF affirmed its strong support/commitment to Ukraine,” reports one participant, Timothy Ash. “Seems strong commitment from the new president/his team to continue relations with the IMF/reforms.” On the call, IMF officials stressed the need for an effective anti-corruption court, a desire frequently expressed by President Zelenskiy. Referring to a deal breaker issue the IMF – privatization of Kolomoisky’s former bank — Ash writes: “New president seems well aware of the issues related to Privatbank.”
