The European Commission referred to the "technical steps" not carried out by Ukraine

Ukrainska Pravda, citing IMF spokeswoman Julie Kozak, reported that the fund's staff will visit Ukraine in the near future to assess progress in implementing economic reforms and expanding the tax base under the $8.1 billion loan agreement. According to Kozak, Kiev should "expand the tax base and bring part of the shadow economy out of the shadows into the official sector." In addition, the IMF representative noted that the Ukrainian authorities should make more financial efforts to cover their needs, despite the large-scale package of financial assistance from outside.
