Ukraine`s Minister of Finance Oleksandr Danyliuk discussed urgent problems of cooperation between Ukraine, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank at the annual meeting of the IMF and the World Bank Group held on October 6-9 in Washington, DC.
”As for the World Bank, we are currently in an active period – we are reviewing the projects portfolio for Ukraine. Some of the outdated and irrelevant projects will be closed, with the view of releasing resources to invest these funds in the current projects that are important for Ukraine`s economic development,” Danyliuk said in his video blog on Facebook.
He also informed that he had discussed urgent issues of reforming various spheres of the Ukrainian economy with the IMF senior officials.
In addition, the minister held meetings with his counterparts from other countries, in particular with the German minister. The two parties are said to have discussed mechanisms for the most efficient use by Ukraine of a EUR 300 million loan that has been disbursed earlier.
In addition, the minister informed that he had met with American customs officials. During the meeting, he saw a positive feedback regarding the anti-corruption draft law approved by the Ukrainian government last week.
Further, Danyliuk held a series of meetings with major investors where the minister outlined investment opportunities in Ukraine and investors` prospects due to the reforms being implemented in the country.

The Ukrainian delegation to Washington also included Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Valeria Gontareva and NBU Deputy Governor Dmytro Solohub.
