KYIV, Dec 18 - A potential disagreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and delayed lending remains the key macroeconomic risk for Ukraine, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) said.

"The next review of the program [the Extended Fund Facility – EFF] is delayed: not all the requirements have been met today ... If there are further delays [with the allocation of tranches b IMF], this will create additional macroeconomic risks," Director of the financial stability department of the central bank Vitaliy Vavryschuk said at a press conference on Monday.
