Ukraine will not obtain the next loan tranche from the International Monetary Fund without implementation of the pension reform, Minister of Finance of Ukraine Alexander Danuliyk said during the discussion in Hudson Institute, Washington (USA), UNIAN reports.
“There are several key terms for obtaining the next tranche. The pension reform is very important. No pension reform, no tranche”, Danyliuk said, responding to the question about the terms of obtaining the next tranche.
In the meantime, the minister emphasized that the implementation of pension reform is an important step not for obtaining IMF tranche, but, first of all, for Ukraine and its citizens.
It should be reminded that as part of the pension reform, the government is going to raise pensions from October 1, which will cost 12 billions.
According to Minister of Social Policy Andrei Reva, Ukraine approved the pension reform with the mission of the International Monetary Fund for 99%.
