Yatsenyuk Needs Year-End Dash to Secure Cash for Ukraine

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has little time to pass a 2015 budget, secure a new aid tranche and negotiate an expansion of a bailout that’s keeping the country afloat as it fights pro-Russian separatists.
Yatsenyuk won confirmation in parliament yesterday after a month of wrangling over forming a government following Oct. 26 early elections. His five-party coalition will announce a new cabinet that will face a Dec. 2 vote before embarking on a list of tasks it needs to fulfill to get $2.8 billion from a $17-billion International Monetary Fund program.
