A mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) arrived here Monday to assess the country's economy, said the IMF regional office in Ukraine.
The delegation will review the financial situation in the country and have talks with Ukrainian authorities during a week, the IMF office said.
The IMF staff would focus on possible challenges to the stability of the East European economy and examine potential further steps to combat the risks, it said.
The visit of the delegation is not related to a revision of a 15-billion-U.S.-dollar stand-by program which was frozen in February 2011 after Ukraine had received the second tranche, the IMF said.
The IMF agreed to grant a credit to Ukraine in June 2010. So far Kiev has received more than 3.4 billion dollars from the aid package./.
