IMF将向乌克兰提供180亿美元贷款 IMF to Loan Ukraine Up to 18 Billion

国际货币基金组织承诺向乌克兰提供最多达180亿美元的贷款。但是，做为交换，乌克兰必须执行严格的经济改革措施。
 
国际货币基金组织(IMF)说，将提供140亿到180亿美元的贷款，这些资金将与来自国际社会的捐助合在一起，在今后两年的援助总额将达到270亿美元。
 
不算国际货币基金组织要求的紧缩措施，按照乌克兰总理亚采纽克星期四在议会的讲话，乌克兰经济有可能在今年收缩10%。他说，国家处在“经济和财政破产”的边缘。
 
The International Monetary Fund has pledged to provide Ukraine with up to $18 billion in loans.

But the country must enact tough economic reforms in exchange.

The IMF says the $14 to $18 billion it will provide will combine with contributions from the international community to total up to $27 billion in total assistance in the next two years.

Without the IMF-mandated austerity measures, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told parliament Thursday Ukraine's economy could contract by 10 percent this year.  He said the country is on the brink of "economic and financial bankruptcy."
