Ukraine calls parliament to discuss budget changes for IMF deal


KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's government will ask parliament to meet Feb. 23-27 to discuss budget changes vital for the successful completion of talks with the International Monetary Fund, Interfax news agency quoted a deputy prime minister as saying on Monday.

An IMF team is in Kiev for talks with Ukrainian authorities about boosting financial support to Ukraine and said in January it would support a bigger, longer-term funding plan than its current $17 billion (11.16 billion pounds) programme, but did not give exact figures.
