KIEV, Feb 24 (Reuters) - A Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister, dealing with foreign affairs issues, said on Tuesday he expected an IMF mission to come back no sooner than next week to talk about the next tranche of a $16.4 billion loan.
"There is a reason to hope that next week or in two weeks time an IMF mission will return to Ukraine to continue their study of the stand-by programme," Hryhory Nemyrya told journalists.
"At the end of that study a decision can be taken ... The second tranche will come in March," he said.
