Ukraine's acting central bank governor Yakiv Smoliy said on Thursday that Ukraine is likely to receive $3 billion in aid from the International Monetary Fund this year, instead of the $4.5 billion previously hoped for.
The central bank also said that uncertainty hangs over Ukraine's ability to implement the programme it has agreed with the IMF under a $17.5 billion bailout launched in 2015. (Reporting by Natalia Zinets; writing by Matthias Williams; Editing by Toby Chopra)
