The International Monetary Fund may rule on its next tranche to Ukraine in April and the nation must adopt a pension law, Deputy Prime Minister Serhiy Tigipko said.

The IMF and investors “are watching how we proceed with the decision on pension reform,” Tigipko told reporters today at a press conference in Kiev. Should Ukraine fail to pass the overhaul, “it will mean that we cannot fight the state budget deficit and we will continue to increase our debts.”
