KIEV (Reuters) - An International Monetary Fund mission will visit Kiev from Nov. 11 to 25 to check on the status of Ukraine's conflict-hit economy and its progress under a $17 billion bailout programme, the IMF's Ukraine representative Jerome Vacher said on Friday.
The IMF programme was agreed in April to shore up the ex-Soviet state's foreign currency reserves and support the economy, which was blighted by years of corruption and economic mismanagement and is now struggling with the extra costs of fighting a separatist rebellion in its eastern territories.
