US Urges Countries to Help Ukraine's Economic Rescue
Jumat, 19 Oktober 2018 20:33 WIB
TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has urged other countries to contribute more to the economic rescue of Ukraine, as cited in BBC News .
He told the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that Ukraine's "sizeable financing needs" meant other nations must add to its $1bn (£597m, 720m euros) loan guarantee.
The appeal came as Ukraine's interim prime minister offered to devolve more powers to eastern regions.
Pro-Russian separatists there are defying the government.
"The United States is bolstering the IMF program through a complementary aid package, which includes a $1bn loan guarantee and additional technical assistance," Lew said in a statement to the IMF.
