KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's prime minister, Volodymyr Groysman, said on Saturday the government was reviewing the way it sets domestic gas bills to make sure market prices are taken into account - a bid to answer demands under a $17.5-billion IMF aid programme.

The long-delayed disbursement of a next tranche of IMF loans also depends on pension reform and the creation of an independent judicial body to tackle endemic graft.
