The final amount of the tranche will be fixed more likely after the meeting of President Petro Poroshenko and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde during the World Economic Forum in Davos, which will be held on January 17-20.
It is expected that the funds will go to NBU reserves.

Pursuant to the updated memorandum of cooperation, Ukraine undertook to implement the land reform and adopt the law on gradual raise of the pension age of citizens.
