The International Monetary Fund is tapping as its new mission chief for Ukraine an economist who helped manage the relationship with Iraq, where the lender of last resort delivered money to rebuild the country after the ravages of war.

Gavin Gray, who served as Iraq mission chief from 2018 to 2020, will take on the new role as of Sept. 20, the IMF said on Wednesday in response to questions from Bloomberg News.
