KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine’s new Central Bank Governor met International Monetary Fund officials and promised to fulfill on time all commitments made under the country’s $5 billion (3.9 billion pounds) IMF programme, the bank said in a statement on Wednesday.
At the meeting, which happened on Tuesday, Kyrylo Shevchenko also said he deeply respected the need to keep the central bank independent, the statement added.
Shevchenko was appointed last week after his predecessor quit, complaining of political pressure.
