KYIV, March 1 - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) notes the importance for the Ukrainian authorities to respect further implementation of structural reform envisaged by the EFF program so as to pass peak payments on external liabilities in the next few years.

IMF Resident Representative in Ukraine Goesta Ljungman said at the Dragon Capital investment forum in Kyiv on Thursday that if the next review of the EFF program is completed, especially due to the progress in carrying out structural reform needed to ensure macroeconomic stability, then the IMF see no problems with further servicing of external liabilities by Ukraine.
